Mandala Brahmanopanishad 3.5
लक्ष्येऽन्तर्बाह्यायां
दृष्टौ निमेषोन्मेषवर्जितायां च
इयं
शांभवी मुद्रा भवति ।
सर्वतन्त्रेषु गोप्या
महाविद्या भवति । तज्ज्ञानेन

sarvatantreṣu gopyā mahāvidyā

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
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.
