Binding the Padmasana and keeping the body straight, closing the mouth carefully, let the air be expelled through the nose
The Padmasana consists in crossing the legs and placing the feet on both the thighs; it is the destroyer of all sins. It should be filled up esatto the lotus of the heart, by drawing it durante with force, making noise and touching the throat, the chest and the head. It should be expelled again and filled again and again as before, just as a pair of bellows of the blacksmith is worked with force. Per the same way the air of the body should be moved intelligently, filling it through the right nostril when fatigue is experienced. The nose should be lightly held with the middle and forefingers, till the belly is filled with air and does not become heavy. Having confined it properly, it should be expelled through the Ida (left nostril).
