67. This Kumbhaka called Bhastrikā should be
specially practised, as it enables [the breath] to break
through the three knots (granthi-s) that are firmly
placed in the Suṣumnā.
68. Then BHRĀMARĪ [is described]: Breathing in
rapidly with a resonance resembling the sound of a
[male] bee, exhale slowly [after Kumbhaka], making
the humming sound of a female bee. By the Yoga,
which consists in practising thus, there arises an in-
describable bliss in the hearts of the best among Yogin-s.
69. Then MŪRCHĀ [is described]: At the end
of inhalation, very firmly assuming the Jālaṃdhara-
bandha, exhale [the breath] slowly. This is called
Mūrchā [Kumbhaka], as it reduces the mind to a state
of inactivity and confers happiness.
70. Then PLĀVINĪ [is described]: Owing to the
air which has been abundantly drawn in, completely
filling the interior, [the Yogin] floats easily, even on
deep waters, like a lotus leaf.
71. Prāṇāyāma is said to be threefold [consisting
of] Recaka, Pūraka and Kumbhaka. Kumbhaka is
also known to be of two kinds: Sahita and Kevala.
The first kind of Prāṇāyāma consists in performing Recaka
first, i.e. exhaling and stopping inhalation; the second in doing
Pūraka first, i.e. inhaling and retaining the breath inside, thus
filling the Nāḍī-s; the third consists in inhaling and holding the
air as in a pot. (This is the same as the second Prāṇāyāma.)
Another type of Kumbhaka consists in stopping the breath, i.e.
being without Pūraka and Recaka. The Sahita Kumbhaka is
of two sorts: the first type is preceded by Recaka and resembles
the first kind of Prāṇāyāma, the second type is preceded by Pūraka
