कण्ठ सङ्कोचनं कृत्वा चिबुकं हृदयेन्यसेत् । जालन्धर कृते बन्धे षोडशाधारबन्धनम् । जालन्धरमहामुद्रा मृत्योश्च क्षयकारिणी ॥३-१२॥

sanskrit

Sitting in any meditative posture, contracting one's throat and placing one's chin on the chest is called Jalandhara Bandha. It binds all the sixteen bases present in the body, that is, by doing this, all the bases automatically get bound. By practicing the excellent posture called Jalandhara Bandha, even death is destroyed.
