Pitṛyajña/Śrāddha
नात्युच्चं नातिनीचं च चेलाजिनकुशोत्तरम् ॥ तत्रैकाग्रं मनः कृत्वा यतचित्तो जितेन्द्रियः
nātyuccāṃ nātinīcaṃ ca celājinakuśottaram || tatraikāgraṃ manaḥ kṛtvā yatacitto jitendriyaḥ
आसन ज़्यादा ऊँचा नहीं, ज़्यादा नीचा भी नहीं। उसके ऊपर कपड़ा, और कुश घास बिछा दी। फिर मन को एक जगह फोकस किया। अपनी इच्छाओं को कंट्रोल किया और बैठ गया।
