Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: academia.edu: The Yoga of the Mālinīvijayottaratantra侱ñī (चिञ्चिनी) refers to one of the ten kinds of sounds (ś岹) according to Jayaratha (author of the 13th century commentary Tantrālokaviveka on Abhinavagupta’s Tantrāloka). Jayaratha cites the Brahmayāmala passage giving this order of the ten sounds (e.g., 侱ñī). In the Svacchandatantra the ñī sound is mentioned in connection with the prognostication of the time of death. This is taught as a simple method for Yogins who are not competent enough to observe the movement of the breath in order to determine impending death. The Yogin closes his ears with his thumbs and listens for any sounds that arise.
侱ñī corresponds with ḍ� according to Dīkṣottara.—The Resonance is correlated with the three main channels of subtle yogic physiognomy. The left channel, known as ḍ�, resonates with the ñī sound, the right channel, called 辱ṅg with the sound of a cricket (ī) and the central ṣu channel reverberates like a bell. When the bell-like resonance in the central channel dies down the Yogin attains the silent, liberated state of Śiva.
