Śāstra Pramāṇa – शास्त्र प्रमाण
Mandala Brahmanopanishad 3. 5
लक्ष्येऽन्तर्बाह्यायां दृष्टाऔ निमेषोन्मेषवर्जितायां च इयं
शांभवी मुद्रा भवति ।
सर्वतन्त्रेषु गोप्या महाविद्या भवति ।
तज्ज्ञानेन संसारनिवृत्तिः । तत्पूजनं मोक्षफलदम् ॥ ५ ॥
lakṣye'ntarbāhyāyāṃ dṛṣṭau nimeṣonmeṣavarjitāyāṃ ca iyaṃ
śāmbhavī mudrā bhavati |
sarvatantreṣu gopyā mahāvidyā bhavati |
tajjñānena saṃsāranivṛttiḥ | tatpūjanaṃ mokṣaphaladam || 5 ||
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 The bandha known as Jalandhara should be performed at the close of the Puraka (in-filling the vital air). This is of the form of constricting the throat with a view to obstruct the passage of vital air. After constricting the throat, he should establish (the vital air) firmly in the bosom. This is known as the Jalandhara bandha , which causes the full flow of nectar. Should the constriction of the throat be made with the immediate contraction of the nether part, by (performing) Pascimatana in the middle, the Prana (vital air) will reach the Brahma-nadi.
