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.

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.
