The adept then contemplates mental sexual intercourse. Dissolving<br />
in the fire of Sakti's yoni all the actions of the sense organs,<br />
regulating the vital breath so as to make it enter the Sushumna, he<br />
recites the mantra Hrim 108 more times, touching the breast of the<br />
Sakti with his right hand, and then Hrim 108 times while touching<br />
her yoni.<br />
Sakti places her hands over the sadhaka's head and recites thrice:<br />
Uttisthata: Get up.<br />

(9) meditating, while uttering the mantra, 'Sivo 'ham: I am Siva',<br />
'Sivo 'ham: I am Siva', 'Sivo 'ham: I am Siva'.<br />
If Sakti desires she may enact the opposite role, known as<br />
Viparit-rati, that is the role of the sadhaka. In that case the union is<br />
effected by Sakti on top of the sadhaka, who lies like a corpse, or<br />
Savasana, and does not move at all. Sakti is now the male and the<br />

potentially charged energy of the ritual. After a prolonged stay in
