AKASHIC REVELATION O Mahādeva, in the middle of this, listen to the bandhayoniāsana; Doing which the practitioner attains khechara and goes all over like Īśwara.
O Lord! Having done the yoniāsana by blocking the genitals and anus, block the mouth with both little fingers, both the nostrils with ring fingers, both the eyes with middle fingers, and both the ears with the forefingers (index finger) and listen to the sound from beyond.

AKASHIC REVELATION
Having assumed the Svastika
posture and brought the mind well
under control, forcing upwards the
Apana little by little, (all the while)
muttering the Pranava, (the Yogin)
should hold the ear and other
Karanas (senses) with his hands, O
sage' closing the senses of the two
ears with his thumbs, the two eye
with the fore-fingers, and the two
nostrils with the other fingers, and
retain (the forced up Apana) in the
head, till the manifestation of Bliss;
by this act also, O great sage! Prana
(air) enters the crevice of the
Brahman (Brahma-randhra).

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.
