AKASHIC REVELATION
Then I shall presently relate
briefly about the control of the
vital air. Prana is air coursing
through the body and Ayama
is said to be Kumbhaka
(holding under control). The
same is said to be of two
kinds: the combined
(Pranayama) and that (which is
practiced) alone by itself. One
should practice the combined
Pranayama till he attains
success in the (practice of
Kumbhaka) alone by itself. The
Kumbhaka which is practiced
along with Surya, Ujjayi, Siitali
and Bhastrl as the fourth, that
is the combined Kumbhaka.

॥
AKASHIC REVELATION
Fixing the gaze inwards into
the inner space and with the
eyes opening out, but devoid
of the acts of opening and
closing of the eyelids, this
Shambhavi–mudra is
assumed. This mahā–vidya
(the great ultimate source
knowledge) is, of all the
Tantras, what is kept a
profound secret. With the
experiential knowledge of
this, is attained freedom and
completion from the state of
worldly existence.By its
worship, is bestowed the
fruit of liberation.

AKASHIC REVELATION
Pressing the anus with the
heel, (the practitioner) should
forcibly draw up the vital air
in such a way that the air
would move upwards stage
by stage. The Prana and
Apana (vital airs), as also the
Nada (Intellect) and the Bindu
(mind), becoming one by
means of the Mula–bandha,
bestow the successful
accomplishment of Yoga.
Herein there is no doubt.
