प्रलम्बितभुजद्वन्द्वमूर्ध्वस्थस्यासितस्य वा ।
स्थानं कायानपेक्षं यत्, कायोत्सर्गः स कीत्तितः ॥१३३।। Meaning : Keeping both the hands hanging down, one should stand ignoring the body or one should sit down and forget the body. In both these ways, the posture observed is kayotsarga.
जायते येन येनेह, विहितेन स्थिरं मनः ।
तत्तदेव विधातव्यमासनं ध्यानसाधनम् ॥१३४॥ Meaning : One should adopt that posture which produces stability of mind and thus becomes an instrument in meditation.
Explanation : There in no hard and fast rule that some particular posture should be practiced excluding the other. Select the posture through which mental tranquility is achieved and maintained for a long time.
सुखासनसमासीन:, सुश्लिष्टाधरपल्लवः । नासाग्रन्यस्तदृग्द्वन्द्वो, दन्तैर्दन्तानस्संपृशन् ॥१३५।। प्रसन्नवदनः पूर्वाभिमुखो वाऽप्युदङ्मुखः ।
अप्रमत्तः सुसंस्थानो, ध्याता ध्यानोद्यतो भवेत् ॥१३६॥ Meaning : The meditator should attempt meditation, selecting a posture in which he can comfortably meditate for a long time, keeping both the lips firmly closed so that no air can come or go in and out, focussing both his eyes on the tip of the nose, arranging the teeth in such a manner that the upper and lower sets may not come in contact with each other, keeping a happy face, facing east or north, devoid of laziness and with an erect spine.
