Transliteration: "pucche pragṛhya bhujagīṃ suptāmudbodhayedabhīḥ ll nidrāṃ vihāya sā ṛjvī ūrdhvamuttiṣthate haṭhāt ll 118 ll dvādaśāṅgula dairghyañca vistṛtaṃ ca ṣaḍaṅgulam ll haṭhajñaiḥ mṛdulaṃ proktaṃ veṣṭanāmbaralakṣaṇam ll 119 ll vistāritena tāṃ jihvāṃ veṣṭayitvā tataḥ sudhīḥ ll aṅguṣṭhatarjanībhyāṃ ca hastābhyāṃ dhārayed dhruvam // svaśaktyā cālayedvāme dakṣiṇe ca punaḥ ll 120 ll muhūrtadvayaparyantaṃ nirbhīaścālayedasau ll ūrdhvamākṛṣyate kiñcitsuṣumṇāṃ kuṇḍalīgatām ll ṣaṇmāsāccālanenaiva śaktistasyordhvagā bhavet ll 121 ll sūryeṇa pūrayedvāyuṃ sarasvatyāstu cālayet ll śabdagarbhācālanena yogī rogaiḥ pramucyate ll 122 ll yena sañcālitā śaktiḥ sa yogī siddhibhājanaḥ ll kimatra bahunoktena mṛtyuṃ jayati līlayā ll 123 ll"

Translation: "Just as one catches hold of the sleeping serpent by the tail and pulls it up, similarly, one should awaken the kuṇḍalī from its slumber. Then she suddenly rises up. 118

An expert of Haṭha should cover the tongue with a thin, smooth and clean cloth of twelve digits in length and six digits in width. 119

After spreading and covering the tongue with the cloth, a wise should firmly catch hold of it with thumb and index fingers of both the hands and frequently move it to right and left to the capacity 120

If one fearlessly undertakes this practice for six hours, kuṇḍalī rises a little and enters into suṣumnā. A six month´s practice alone makes the śakti rising upwards. 121

One should inhale air through right nostril and activate the sarasvatī (kuṇḍalī), by manipulation of the tongue. Thus, the Yogī frees himself from the diseases. 122

A Yogī, who stimulates śakti (kuṇḍalī), accomplishes supernatural powers (siddhis). He easily transcends Kāla (death). 123 "
