Translation

"The ākāśa element, is placed in the Brahma-randhra, which is as pure as water. It bears that (unheard) nāda, having Sadāsiva as presiding deity and embedded with `ha` (as bīja). One should take prāṇa there accompanied with mind for five ghaṭikās. This Nabho-dhāraṇā brings liberation to the Yogīs. 16"
