"nobhyām-āraṃ samākṛṣya kuṇḍalayāḥ pārśvayoḥ kṣipet
gacchatā tiṣṭhatā śvasa-dhāraṇaṃ na balād-yadā
aniśaṃ sahajaḥ kumbhaḥ proktaḥ śri-kṛttivāsasā ॥ 104 ॥
nāḍīśuddhiṃ tathārogyaṃ susukhaṃ dīrgha-jīvanam
nādaśrutiḥ pāpa-nāśaḥ sahajābhyāsato bhavet ॥ 105 ॥"
Translation：
"Inhaling prāṇa through the nose and carrying it along the Kuṇḍalī, one should hold it comfortably off and on.
This is Sahaja-Kumbhaka narrated by Śri-kṛttivāsa (Śiva).
With the practice of this Sahaja-Kumbhaka, one gets purification of the nāḍīs, health, longevity, hearing of the
mystical sounds and removal of all the blemishes."
