AKASHIC REVELATION
Doing the kārmukasana
contract the stomach and fill
it up easily with breath; Then
in due course the subtle vital
breath comes under control.
(23.36) After doing
padmasana the one who has
perfected the mantras,
should take the right hand
around the back and hold the
toe of the left foot, and
repeat it the same way by
taking the left hand
backwards and holding the
toe of the right foot. (23.37)
The number of asanas get
doubled by left and right
method in karmukasana too;
With the aid of dual
karmukasanas, take the
breath straight in like an
arrow. (23.38)

AKASHIC REVELATION
Without touching the front
teeth and placing the
tongue near them, one
should draw the air in by
making the lips like the
beak of a crow. This is a
superior practice of
Pranayama.

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.
