tasmād uḍḍīyānākhyo 'yaṃ yogibhiḥ samudāhṛtaḥ | uḍḍīyānaṃ tu sahajaṃ guruṇā kathitaṃ sadā || 119 || 119. Therefore, this is called the 'flying up' (Uḍḍīyana) Bandha by yogis. Indeed, (the term) 'flying up' (Uḍḍīyana) is always naturally (or innately) explained by the guru. अभ्यसेत् सततं यस् तु वृद्धोऽपि तरुणायते । नाभेरूर्ध्वमधश् चापि प्राणं कुर्यात् प्रयत्नतः ॥ १२० ॥ abhyaset satataṃ yas tu vṛddho 'pi taruṇāyate | nābher urdhvam adhaś cāpi prāṇaṃ kuryāt prayatnataḥ || 120 || 120. He who constantly practises this, even when old, becomes youthful. With effort, one should diligently move the prāṇa (energy) upwards from the navel and also (back) downwards¹.

1. Constantly moving the prāṇa up and down the central energy channel of the spine. षण्मासम् अभ्यसेन् मृत्युं जयत्य् एव न संशयः । पूरकान्ते ऽपि कर्तव्यो बन्धो जालन्धराभिधः ॥ १२१ ॥ ṣaṇmāsam abhyasen mṛtyuṃ jayaty eva na saṃśayaḥ | pūrakānte 'pi kartavyo bandho jālandharābhidhaḥ || 121 ||

At the end of inhalation (pūraka), Jālandhara bandha should also be performed. कण्ठसंकोचरूपो ऽसौ वायुर् मार्गनिरोधकः । कण्ठम् आकुञ्च्य हृदये स्थापयेद् दृढम् इच्छया ॥ १२२ ॥ kaṇṭhasaṃkocarūpo 'sau vāyur mārganirodhakaḥ | kaṇṭham ākuñcya hṛdaye sthāpayed dṛḍham icchayā || 122 ||
3. This throat constriction technique blocks the (descending) path of the vital air. By contracting the throat, one should firmly place it¹ in the heart,² as desired (by will).
4. The udāna-wind, which rises up past the throat, and into the heart of the cerebral centre.
5. The heart of Śiva: नाभिमध्ये स्थितो ब्रह्मा हृदि मध्ये तु माधवः । शिरसि शङ्करो ज्ञेया त्रिस्थानं मुक्तिदं स्मृतं ॥ ३४ ॥ nābhimadhye sthito brahmā hṛdi madhye tu mādhavaḥ | śirasi śaṅkaro jñeyā tristhānaṃ muktidaṃ smṛtaṃ || 34 ||
6. In the navel's centre is situated Brahmā, in the heart's centre is indeed Mādhava (Viṣṇu), and in the head is known to reside
