68 मुद्रा
He has no fear of death and does not become decrepit. This
Mahavedha is to be kept secret by the masters of Yoga.
जिह्वाधोनाडीं संछित्य रसनां चालयेत्सदा ।
दोहयेन्नवनीतेन लौहयन्त्रेण कर्षयेत् ॥ 21
The yogi should regularly cut the tendon below the
tongue and move the tongue about. He should milk it
with fresh butter and pull it with iron tongs.
एवं नित्यं समभ्यासाल्लम्बिका दीर्घतां व्रजेत् ।
यावद्गच्छेद्भ्रुवोर्मध्ये तदा सिध्यति खेचरी ॥ 22
By regular practice in this way, the tongue becomes long.
When it reaches between the eyebrows, Khechari
is perfected.
रसनां तालुमूले तु शनैः शनैः प्रवेशयेत् ।
कपालकुहरे जिह्वा प्रविष्टा विपरीतगा ।
भ्रुवोर्मध्ये गता दृष्टिर्मुद्रा भवति खेचरी ॥ 23
Gently insert the tongue into the base of the palate.
When the tongue is turned back into the cavity of the
skull and the gaze is directed between the eyebrows, that
is Khecharimudra.
न च मूर्च्छा क्षुधा तृष्णा नैवालस्यं प्रजायते ।
न च रोगो जरा मृत्युर्देवदेहः स जायते ॥ 24
