दक्षिणं चरणं न्यस्य वामोरूपरि योगवित् । याम्योरूपरि वामं च पद्मासनमिदं विदुः
dakṣiṇaṃ caraṇaṃ nyasya vāmorūpari yogavit | yāmyorūpari vāmaṃ ca padmāsanamidaṃ viduḥ
Placing the right foot upon the left thigh, and then the left foot upon the right thigh—this, say the knowers of yoga, is the Lotus Posture (Padmāsana).
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya
Scene: A yogin demonstrates Padmāsana: right foot on left thigh, left foot on right thigh; posture symmetrical, spine erect, gaze soft; Kāśī’s ghāṭas/temples faintly behind.
Correct posture is a foundation for yoga—discipline of the body supports concentration and dharmic practice.
Kāśī is the setting of the Kāśīkhaṇḍa; the verse itself gives yogic method rather than naming a particular tīrtha.
The prescribed practice is Padmāsana: right foot on left thigh, left foot on right thigh.
