"बन्धत्रयमथेदानीं प्रवक्ष्यामि यथाक्रमम् ।
नित्यं कृतेन तेनास्औ वायोर्जयमवाप्नुयात् ॥ १०१ ॥
चतुर्णामपि भेदानां कुम्भके समुपस्थिते ।
बन्धत्रयमिदं कार्यं वक्ष्यमाणं मया हि तत् ॥ १०२ ॥
प्रथमो मूलबन्धस्तु द्वितीयोड्डीयणाभिधः ।

bandhatrayamidaṃ kāryaṃ vakṣyamāṇaṃ mayā hi tat ॥ 102 ॥

When Kumbhaka of the four varieties has been successfully accomplished, this three-fold Bandha should be performed. That is related by me presently.
