The text in question presents fifteen āsanas, four of which—Siddhāsana, Padmāsana, Siṃhāsana, and Bhadrāsana—are singled out as foremost. Siddhāsana is especially praised as a firm, stable seat that purifies the nāḍīs and supports prāṇāyāma, bandha, and meditation, making it particularly suitable for kuṇḍalinī-related practice and the attainment of samādhi. Padmāsana, the classic lotus posture, is likewise honored as a very steady seat for prāṇāyāma and dhyāna, assisting in stabilizing the mind and directing prāṇa upward. Siṃhāsana, with its leonine expression and focus on the throat, is described as beneficial for the tongue and throat, purifying the vocal apparatus and supporting clear speech. Bhadrāsana is presented as a firm, stable posture, well suited for mudrās and prāṇāyāma, and is associated with control of apāna and practices that support the rise of kuṇḍalinī.

Alongside these principal seats, the text enumerates other āsanas that prepare the body and subtle system for higher practice. Svastikāsana, Gomukhāsana, and Vīrāsana are all seated postures that cultivate steadiness and comfort, creating a reliable base for prāṇāyāma and meditative absorption. Kūrmāsana and Uttāna Kūrmāsana, evoking the image of the tortoise, foster withdrawal of the senses and inwardness, calming the mind and stabilizing prāṇa. Kukkutāsana, an arm-balancing posture performed from Padmāsana, develops strength and a sense of lightness, while Śavāsana, the “corpse” pose, is praised for removing fatigue from other practices and bringing deep relaxation and steadiness of mind.

The remaining postures are more overtly dynamic in their effect on the vital forces and the body’s inner fire. Dhanurāsana, the bow pose, is said to stimulate the digestive fire and tone the abdominal organs and spine. Matsyendrāsana, the revered spinal twist, is described as kindling digestive power, removing abdominal disorders, purifying nāḍīs and vital points, and supporting the awakening of kuṇḍalinī and the stabilization of prāṇa. Paścimottānāsana, the intense forward bend, is associated with kindling agni, reducing abdominal fat, purifying the channels, and bestowing health and steadiness of mind. Mayūrāsana, the peacock pose, receives especially high praise for destroying humoral imbalances, burning up toxins, neutralizing the effects of unwholesome or even poisonous food, and powerfully strengthening digestion.

Taken together, these fifteen āsanas are not presented as mere physical exercises but as a graded architecture for inner work. The seated postures provide unwavering stability for prāṇāyāma and meditation; the forward bends, twists, and balances purify nāḍīs, strengthen digestion, and regulate prāṇa; and the restorative Śavāsana integrates and consolidates their effects. Through this integrated approach, the body becomes a fit vessel, the nāḍīs are cleansed, and prāṇa is gradually guided toward the subtle aim of kuṇḍalinī awakening and the contemplative absorption that follows.
