Akashic Revelation
Keeping the stomach at ease like the
back, bend the left leg and place it
with care on the right thigh, put the
elbow of the right hand on top of it
and the face on the palm
of right hand. Assuming this posture,
fix the gaze in the middle of the
forehead. This is Mastyendra posture.
