AKASHIC REVELATION
Now (I shall talk of) supreme
sarvāṅgāsana briefly. Doing which
the one becomes proficient in Yoga
like a pandita who is the master of
knowledge. The head should be
placed on the floor and both the
legs raised upwards; Position both
the elbows on the floor, legs as in
padmāsana.
The adept practitioner should do
this every danda for relaxation; Do
not hold the breath without doing
the sarvāṅgāsana. Doing so the
subtle breath begins to circulate
within a month; In three months
(the sādhaka) attains the stature of
a deva and becomes blissful and
relaxed. 23. 90

AKASHIC REVELATION
The bandha known as Jalandhara
should be performed at the close of
the Puraka (in-filling the vital air).
This is of the form of constricting the
throat with a view to obstruct the
passage of vital air. After
constricting the throat, he should
establish (the vital air) firmly in the
bosom. This is known as the
Jalandhara bandha , which causes
the full flow of nectar. Should the
constriction of the throat be made
with the immediate contraction of
the nether part, by (performing)
Pascimatana in the middle, the Prana
(vital air) will reach the Brahma-nadi.
