अर्धोन्मीलितदृश्यभ्रूमध्ये तारकवज्जगत् ।

vyomātmaiva sadābhāsaṃ svarūpaṃ yo'bhipaśyati || 54 ||

He is that vacuous Soul who views the worlds as clearly, as the yogi beholds Him in the form of ineffable light, with his half closed eyes, and fixing his sight to the midst of his eyebrows, (in his khechari mudra or aerial mode of meditation).{GL_NOTE:73108:}
