MUDRAS 61
Firmly press the anus onto the left ankle, extend the right
foot, hold the toes with the hands, contract the throat,
and look between the eyebrows. Inhaling repeatedly, fill
yourself completely with air. This is called Mahamudra.
वलितं पलितं चैव जरामृत्युं निवारयेत् ।
क्षयकासगुदावर्तप्लीहाजीर्णज्वरं तथा ।
नाशयेत्सर्वरोगांश्च महामुद्राप्रसाधनात् ॥ 6
It can cure wrinkles and gray hair, old age and death,
consumptive cough, constipation, disorders of the spleen,
decrepitude, and fever. By mastering Mahamudra, the
yogi can get rid of all diseases.
यत्र यत्र स्थितो योगी सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा ।
ऊर्ध्वजिह्वः स्थिरो भूत्वा धारयेत्पवनं सदा ।
नभोमुद्रा भवेदेषा योगिनां रोगनाशिनी ॥ 7
Wherever the yogi may be, he should always, in every-
thing he does, be sure to keep the tongue turned upwards
and constantly hold the breath. This is Nabhomudra, the
destroyer of diseases for yogis.
उदरे पश्चिमं तानं नाभेरूर्ध्वं तु कारयेत् ।
उड्डीनं कुरुते यस्मादविश्रान्तं महाखगः ।
उड्डीयानं त्वसौ बन्धो मृत्युमातंगकेसरी ॥ 8
