घेरण्ड संहिता (महर्षि घेरण्ड - सप्ताङ्ग हठयोग सटीक)

62 मुद्रा
Draw the abdomen backwards above the navel so that the
great bird flies unceasingly upwards. This is Uddiyana-
bandha, a lion against the elephant of death.
समग्राद्बन्धनाद्ध्येतदुड्डीयानं विशिष्यते ।
उड्डीयाने समभ्यस्ते मुक्तिः स्वाभाविकी भवेत् ॥ ९
This Uddiyana sets itself apart from all bandhas: when
Uddiyana is practiced, liberation arises spontaneously.
कण्ठसंकोचनं कृत्वा चिबुकं हृदये न्यसेत् ।
जालन्धरे कृते बन्धे षोडशाधारबन्धनम् ।
जालन्धरमहामुद्रा मृत्योश्च क्षयकारिणी ॥ १०
Contract the throat and put the chin on the chest. When
Jalandharabandha is performed, the sixteen adharas are
restrained.¹ The great Jalandhara mudra brings about
death's downfall.
सिद्धो जालन्धरो बन्धो योगिनां सिद्धिदायकः ।
षण्मासमभ्यसेद्यो हि स सिद्धो नात्र संशयः ॥ ११
A perfected Jalandharabandha bestows success upon yogis.
He who practices it for six months is an adept. In this
there is no doubt.
¹A bandha (lock) is a type of mudra. The sixteen adharas (literally “supports”
or “substrates”) are at various locations within the body. They are listed in the
Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati, verses 2.10–25.
