Like the genitals of a mare (惫补岣峚惫腻-尘补峁嚹玭诲谤颈测补) it expands and contracts (repeatedly). When the mind (cetas) is present there in the middle (of the triangle of the Cavity of Brahm膩), a state (of contemplative absorption) arises (in which all bodily functions are suspended called) the Wooden State (办腻峁ａ弓丑腻惫补蝉迟丑腻).
