Akashic Revelations Now (I shall talk) garuḍāsana doing which the mind becomes stable in this world; (And the practitioner) becomes free of all sorts of imperfections and becomes a mahābali (a person with super powers). (23.98) Stand on one foot straight like a rod and place the other foot on the (opposite) thigh at the joint of the groin, doing so restless (practitioner for knowledge) becomes stable minded.
