AKASHIC REVELATION
NOW I SHALL TALK ABOUT ANOTHER
ĀSANA BY WHICH ONE BECOMES A
SIDDHA; THAT IS CALLED KOKILĀSANA BY
WHICH THE BREATH GETS CIRCULATED
INSTANTLY. (23.101)
O LORD! RAISE BOTH HANDS AND
STRETCH BOTH LEGS UPWARDS; AND
HOLD BOTH THE BIG TOES, DO THIS IN A
SLOW PROCESS. (23.102) DO THE
PADMĀSANA PROPERLY BY
CONTRACTING AND RESTING OVER THE
KNEE-JOINTS.

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.
