Suṣumṇāvāhin (सुषुम्णावाहिन्) refers to “that which is flowing in Suṣumṇā”, according to the Haṭhapradīpikā (verse 4.19-20a-b).—Accordingly, [while describing the attainment of Samādhi]: “Having awakened (bodhayitvā) Kuṇḍalinī, the vitality which has been carefully accumulated along with internal heat enters Suṣumnā unobstructed. When vitality is flowing in Suṣumṇā (suṣumṇāvāhin), the no-mind state is accomplished”.
