Mokṣopāya: Bhakti-rooted Jñāna and the Aṣṭāṅga Yoga of Viṣṇu-Meditation
भौमं वीरासनं चैव योगसाधनकारणम् । त्रिंशत्संख्यान्यासनानि मुनीन्द्रैः कथितानि वै ॥ १५ ॥
bhaumaṃ vīrāsanaṃ caiva yogasādhanakāraṇam | triṃśatsaṃkhyānyāsanāni munīndraiḥ kathitāni vai || 15 ||
Bhauma-āsana và Vīrāsana cũng là những phương tiện đưa đến thành tựu trong việc hành trì yoga. Quả thật, ba mươi āsana đã được các bậc đại hiền dạy truyền.

It frames specific āsanas (Bhauma and Vīrāsana) as supportive instruments for yoga-sādhana and anchors the teaching in an authoritative tradition—thirty postures transmitted by great sages.
While the verse is primarily yogic, it supports bhakti indirectly by emphasizing disciplined bodily steadiness (āsana) as preparation for sustained japa, dhyāna, and remembrance of the Lord—common devotional practices in Purāṇic sādhanā.
It most closely aligns with practical śāstraic discipline rather than a single Vedāṅga; the takeaway is procedural sādhanā-vidhi—using prescribed postures as an applied method to stabilize the body for mantra and meditation.
