Oh! Goddess Supreme! the flow of amritadhaaraa flowing from [between] the two Divine Lotus Feet, you do abhisheka of all the naadis in the body, formed of pancabhoota; and from the candramandala which showers amrita kirana, you start your journey back to your natural, original location, the moolaadhara and assume the shape of a serpent in the form of a kundala remaining there, in the moolaadhara kunda which has a very small hole.

The sloka 9 referred the aarohana of kundalini sakti. This sloka -10 refers to avarohana of kundalini sakti. By remaining with Lord Sada siva in the sahasraara, making thereby the flow of aananda – bliss through the whole body and flowing through all the naadis of the body, Goddess reaches her original abode moolaadhara.

Kulakunda – ‘ku’ represent prithwi-tatwa. Since it gets laya at moolaadhara, moolaadhara cakra is called kula kunda. In the centre of that, there is a small root similar to that of a lotus; in the center of that there is a small hole, in which the kundalini sakti is sleeping occupying the shape of a serpent with three circled shape covered by an aura.

Sloka 9 refers to the six aadhaara cakras with kudalini sakti – aarohanam

But this sloka sloka - 10 refers to Kndalini Sakti – avarohanam.

Kundalini Sakti may get evoked; but may also get trapped with mystic powers at the different aadhaara cakras, getting locked up there with the divine powers.

In this case, only aarohana sakti is evoked but not avarohana, and hence, the final state is not reached, which happens to be our original, natural state – the pure consciousness.

That is why many among those who strive for liberation does not succeed, but get trapped in the mystic powers of maaya and remain there.-
just as we have already referred earlier the gita verse –

Daivee hyeshaa gunamayee mama maayaa duratyayaa
Maam eva ye prapadyante maayaam etaam taranti te.

‘ku’ represent prithwi tatwa; it gets laya in moolaadhara and hence moolaadhara is called kulakunda.
Aaroonam says like this –

Amritasya dhaaraa bahudhaa dhamaanam
Caranam no loke sudhitaam dadhaatu

Meaning –

Let the amritadhaara flowing from the lotus feet of the goddess, purify and cleanse our minds and give us the bhakti, so that we may remain always in our permanent state of happiness.

A devotee, by sitting in padmaasan, doing kumbaka praanaayaama and then do Sri Vidya Pooja by mentally remembering the Sri Vidyaa Beeja, gets Kundalini evoked; and then the Sakti flows from Moolaadhaara, goes upto Sahasraara and gives darshan to the devotee, according to his sankalpa.
