The Consecration (Anointing) of Indra
योगासनसमारूढो निराशो निःपरिग्रहः । तस्य वेला सुसंप्राप्ता मृत्युकालस्य वै तदा
yogāsanasamārūḍho nirāśo niḥparigrahaḥ | tasya velā susaṃprāptā mṛtyukālasya vai tadā
وہ یوگ آسن میں مضبوطی سے بیٹھا، خواہش سے پاک اور بےملکیت تھا؛ تب اس کی مقدر گھڑی آن پہنچی—یقیناً اسی وقت موت کا زمانہ اس پر آ گیا۔

Concept: Meeting death in yoga—desireless and possessionless—turns the final moment into spiritual completion rather than fear.
Application: Practice daily ‘mini-antya-kāla’: sit, breathe, release cravings, and remember the Lord; simplify possessions to reduce end-of-life agitation.

FAQs
It emphasizes vairāgya (detachment): being steady in yoga, free from craving (nirāśa), and non-possessive (niḥparigraha) as one faces mortality.
Yes. The imagery of sitting in a yogic posture with renunciation indicates composure and inward readiness when death arrives.
Cultivate non-attachment and simplicity now, so that life’s final transition is met with clarity rather than fear or clinging.
