Mandala Brahmanopanishad 3.5
लक्ष्येऽन्तर्बाह्यायां दृष्टौ निमेषोन्मेषवर्जितायां च इयं
शांभवी मुद्रा भवति ।
सर्वतन्त्रेषु गोप्या महाविद्या भवति ।
तज्ज्ञानेन संसारनिवृत्तिः । तत्पूजनं मोक्षफलदम् ॥ ५ ॥
lakṣye'ntarbāhyāyāṃ dṛṣṭau nimeṣonmeṣavarjitāyāṃ ca iyaṃ
śāṃbhavī mudrā bhavati |
sarvatantreṣu gopyā mahāvidyā bhavati |
tajjñānena saṃsāranivṛttiḥ | tatpūjanaṃ mokṣaphalam ॥ 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.

Śāstra Pramāṇa – शास्त्र प्रमाण
Yoga Sikhopanishad 104 – 105
गुदं पाष्ण्या तु संपीड्य वायुमाकुञ्चयेद् बलात् ।
वारं वारं यथा चोर्ध्वं समायाति समीरणः ॥ १०४ ॥
प्राणापानौ नान्दबिन्दू मूलबन्धेन चैकताम् ।
गत्वा योगस्य संसिद्धिं यच्छतो नात्र संशयः ॥ १०५ ॥
gudaṃ pārṣṇyā tu saṃpīḍya vāyumākuñcayed balāt |
vāraṃ vāraṃ yathā cordhvaṃ samāyāti samīraṇaḥ ॥ 104 ॥
prāṇāpānau nāndabindū mūlabandhena caikatām |
gatvā Yogasya saṃsiddhiṃ yacchato nātra saṃśayaḥ ॥ 105 ॥
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.
