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
The external vision of the Yogin,
when it becomes fixed only on
the one object In the interior,
(with the mind concentrated on
the Viraj, Sutratman, Bija or the
Turiya in the Muladhara, Anahata
or Sahasrara) and in
consequence devoid of shutting
or opening the eyelids, this is the
reputed Vaisnavi Mudra, which is
well preserved as a secret in all
the Tantras. 14.

AKASHIC REVELATION
The cleansing (with the
Pranayama) of the heaps of
impurities (in the Nadis), the
bringing about of the union
between the Moon and the Sun,
the complete drying up of the
bodily fluids, Rasas (Vaata, Pitta
and Kapha), is known as the
mahāmudrā. With, the chin laid
on the chest, pressing the abyss
of the genitals with the left foot,
holding with the two hands the
outstretched right leg, filling
with breath the pair of bellies
and holding it up, one should
slowly exhale it. This indeed is
said to be the sin-destroying
Maha-mudra for men.
