Akashic Revelation
One should inhale through the left
and hold the breath, followed by
inhalation by the right nostril and
retain. Then again inhale the breath
through the nostrils, and hold the
breath systematically (before
exhalation). This is Trinetra
Kumbhaka by Śiva, which gives
three-fold siddhis
