Transliteration

bindugo bījadāhādi trisvareṇa niveṣṭitaḥ | amṛteyaṃ sadō mūrdhni vyāpinī jīvamukaṃkṣayā ॥ 24 ॥ akārabindusaṁyukto nādaśaktisaṃanvitaḥ | biṇḍurakṣitasarvāṅgo lalāṭasthānasaṃśritaḥ ॥ 25 ॥

Translation

Raising the breath with pranava placed along with the seed letters pertaining to fire etc added with bindu, he should fix his mind on Bramha-randhra. This is known as Amṛta-dhārana which brings out the full efforescence of the soul’s inherent nature. Dhārana which is done with the accompaniment of akāra, bindu and nāda, all being covered (or grounded) by anusvāra is known as para. The mind is to be fixed on a place between the eye-brows.
