A note on this entry Also spelt sankhini. The name belongs to a small family of conch-named channels in the tantric literature, and what one text says of shankhini another says of a different channel; the anus endpoint is the commonest reading but not the only one.
Sanskrit शङ्खिनी
Channel Ends at the anus. Function One of the fourteen principal nadis, assigned to the first gate, the anus, and so to excretion. The name is from shankha, the conch, and the channel is imagined as a spiral shell rather than a straight tube.
