Text

The Vimanarcanakalpa is a 10th to 11th century prose text[1] on Hatha yoga, attributed to the sage Marichi.[2] It states that yoga is the union of the individual with the supreme self.{{sfn|Mallinson|Singleton|2017|p=21}}

It is one of the earliest texts to describe a non-seated asana and to call such postures asanas (the term originally and literally meaning a seat), namely Mayurasana the peacock pose. In chapter 96 it describes nine asanas in all (Brahmasana, Svastikasana, Padmasana, Gomukhasana, Simhasana, Muktasana, Virasana,{{efn|Called hero's posture, but as a cross-legged pose not the same as the modern kneeling Virasana.}} Bhadrasana, and Mayurasana), some 500 years before the Hatha Yoga Pradipika.{{sfn|Mallinson|Singleton|2017|pp=87, 100-101}} Its account of Mayurasana, in James Mallinson's translation, is:

{{quote|Fix the palms of the hands on the floor, place the elbows on either side of the navel, raise the head and feet and remain in the air like a staff. This is the peacock posture.{{sfn|Mallinson|Singleton|2017|p=101}}}}

The text teaches a method of pratyahara, withdrawal using the breath, which is raised through 18 stages called marmans, vital points.{{sfn|Mallinson|Singleton|2017|pp=174, 190, 285, 296}}

The Vimanarcanakalpa describes other topics, such as the practice of burying sacred bronze objects to protect them in times of trouble.[3]
