Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah

VBT 77 :

Karankinyaa krodhanayaa bhairavyaa lelihaanayaa,

khecharyaa drishtikaale cha paraavaaptih prakaashate

Translation :

At the time of seeing karankini, krodhana, bhairavi, lelihanaya, khechari, the supreme attainment manifests.

Commentary :

When the sadhaka gets the inner intuitive meaning of the tantric mudras like ,

a) karankini : 'skeleton' mudra : Like shavasana, but consider body as a dead body.

b) krodhana : 'anger' mudra : tighten your facial muscles and let go to relieve the tension.

c) bhairavi : a.k.a unmani mudra : Eyes are looking at an external object, but attention is on inner self.

d) lelihanaya : 'flame' mudra : I dont know.

e) khechari : 'roaming in open space' mudra : Yogic texts describe it as elongation of tongue and bending the tongue backwards and pushed into cavity of mouth.

Then, the supreme attainment manifests.
