The practitioner who has subdued
his passion, having placed one heel at
the anal aperture should keep the
other heel on the root of the
generative organ; afterwards he
should affix his chin upon the chest,
and being quiet and straight, gaze at
the spot between the two eyebrows.
This is called the Siddhasana and
