AKASHIC REVELATION
Then I shall presently relate briefly
about the control of the vital air.
Prana is air coursing through the
body and Ayama is said to be
Kumbhaka (holding under control).
The same is said to be of two
kinds: the combined (Pranayama)
and that (which is practiced) alone
by itself. One should practice the
combined Pranayama till he attains
success in the (practice of
Kumbhaka) alone by itself. The
Kumbhaka which is practiced
along with Surya, Ujjayi, Siitali and
Bhastrl as the fourth, that is the
combined Kumbhaka.

लक्ष्येऽन्तर्बाह्यायां
दृष्ट्रऔ निमेषोन्मेषवर्जितायां च इयं

sarvatantreṣu gopyā mahāvidyā

tajjñānena saṃsāranivṛttiḥ |
tatpūjanaṃ mokṣaphaladam ॥ 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.

गुदं पाष्ण्र्या तु संपीड्य
वायुमाकुञ्चयेद् बलात् ।

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.
