Translation

"For bhekāsana Yoga place both the feet facing each other on the chest effortlessly; Then keep both arms on the shoulders around the feet in front. (While this āsana is being done) concentrate on the supreme consciousness looking upwards to attain bliss for the disillusioned one sitting in this āsana. If all the body parts are raised upwards uniformly, it becomes khecarāsana. (23.63, 64) The aforesaid mahābhekāsana give the practitioner all siddhis (Yogic powers); He who practises it while chanting the mahāmantra, acquires ultimate knowledge here. (23.65)"
