In plain words

Through saṃyama on the centre within the nāsikā, what of the left, the right and the suṣumnā here? And so, even while the natural bond with prāṇa remains, the one who, risen to that, abides reflecting on the inner kalā is beyond the world. So he says: In the left, the right and the suṣumnā, the chief forms of the whole wheel of channels, the places of the right, left and middle channels, there is the nāsikā: the power of prāṇa that flows crookedly, so called because it moves (nasate) crookedly. Within it is the inner one, awareness; and the centre of that too, chief because it is the innermost of all, is the form made of reflective awareness, in the way stated in the Kālikākrama: "Of that God beyond the gods, whose nature is supreme awakening, reflective awareness is the supreme power, all-knowing, rich in knowledge." Through saṃyama on it, through excellence in beholding it within, what is there to say here? For this is the supreme samādhi, blazing in every state, with no coming out of it. As the Vijñānabhairava says: "Awareness of grasped and grasper is common to all embodied beings; but for yogins there is this distinction: attentiveness in the relation."
