I prostrate to the Sadaasiva tatwa,
which is like strange cloud,
which has the Manipooraka cakra as the adhishthaana,
which has Sakti, who is enemy of darkness, as lightning group of garlands,
which is black,
and with bow of Lord Indra as the ornaments decorated with different
divine Ratna stones,
and making cool by raining, and restoring the three worlds, burnt by the Rudra who is
the pralaya kaala soorya.

Tatitwantam :-
Siddhaghutikaa says –

"Manipooraika vasatih praavrishenyah
sadaasivah Ambudaatmatayaa bhaati
sthirasoudaaminee sivaa Kabaleekrita
nissesha tatvagraamaswarooni"

indhradhanusham :-
aarunam says :-

"dadindra tanurityajyam
abhra varneshu cakshate
yetad yeva samyor-baarhatpatyasya
yetad rudrasya dhanuh"

Lakshmidarar says –

"Yo’psu naavam pratishthitaam veda
Pratyeva tishthati
Apsu udakatatwaatmike manipoore pratishthitaam
Naavam sreecakraatimikaa"

[Meaning – the river which allows us to cross over the samsara bhava saagara is here]
Arunaamodini says –

"Anaahata cakropasthitaah
soorya kiranaa atah prasritaah
Swaadhishthaanaagninaa dagdham
Jagataaplavayanteetyaagamah"

[meaning – the soorya kirana in anaahata spreads below adds with the agni in
swaadhishtaana and then enters manipooraka and makes cloud and then making rain
shower and makes the taapa traya world to become cool.]

Agneraapah :-
Water appears from agni.
The position or abode of water is manipooraka cakra.

This is the location where there is the ten petal lotus situated in the sushumnaa naadi.
Here the devotee has to pray and do the upaasana of the god and goddess as maheswaran
and sthirasoudaamini.

The god and goddess here are called as amriteswaran and amriteswari.
The devotee has to do upaasanaa of amriteswaran and amriteswari as surrounded by 52
jala-mayookhaa goddesses.

The place or temple in India for this Manipooraka cakra is Tiruvaanaikkaval.
In the Manipooraka, which is blackish, to the Siva who is like the cloud mixed with
water, devi appears as the lighting of garlands.

Naraayana sookta says :-
"Neelatoyata - madhyasthaat - vidhyullekheva bhaasvaraa"

Aagama refers :-
The sun rays above the anaahata cakra joining with swaadhisthaana agni and become
water or jalatatwa and reach manipooraka do the aavaahana of the jagat which was burnt
down in the swaadhisthaana agni. The siva sakti swaroopa which produces that jala tatwa
is described in this sloka.
