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
By doing the yoniāsana along with
parvatāsana the fruits of vital breath
are gained; Until it becomes khecara
(light as space) certainly. (23.53) He
who presses the front portion of the
cakra and penis with end of his foot;
And places the end of the second
foot on the corresponding thigh, it
becomes yoniāsana. (23.54) O Lord!
This yoniāsana is very distinguished
(rare) among the Yogis (for) having
filled up the body with vital breath
(prāṇavāyu), and contracting the
mūlādhāra cakra should be stabilised.
(23.58)
The practitioner who does this āsana
alternatively by the left and right
method perfecting the pūraka and
kumbhaka, he becomes a siddha
(expert with Yogic powers). (23.59)
