Āpta Pramāṇa - आप्त प्रमाण
Gheranda Samhita, Upadesha 2,
Verse 19
उत्तानं शववत् भूमौ शयनं तु शवासनम् ।
शवासनं श्रमहरं चित्तविश्रान्तिकारणम् ॥ १९॥
uttānaṁ śavavat bhūmau śayanam
tu śavāsanam ।

Akashic Revelation
Lay flat on the ground, relaxing
all the parts of the body. The
whole body unmoving like a
dead body, removes the fatigue
and brings peace to the mind.
This āsana is called as Mritāsana
or Savāsana.
Technique
- Lie down flat on the ground, like a corpse.
- Spread your legs.
- Keep your hands facing upward, away from the body.
- Keep your fingers in Chin mudra. Bring your index finger to your thumb. This is Chin mudra.
