जङ्घास्वस्तिकयोगेन क्रमादावर्तितं नयेत् । जानुनः कुञ्चनाच्चैव नतं ज्ञेयं प्रयोक्तृभिः । विक्षेपाच्चैव जङ्घायाः क्षिप्तमित्यभिधीयते ॥ २६१॥

sanskrit

Āvartita (turned) should be performed by successively forming the crosswise (svastika) posture with the shanks. Nata (bent) is to be known by the bending of the knee. And when the shank is flung out, it is termed Kṣipta (thrown out).

sanskrit

Nata (bent) results from the bending of the knee. Kṣipta (thrown out) is due to flinging the shank outward. Udvāhita (raised) is to be understood from the upward lifting of the shank. Parivṛtta (turned back) is so called when the leg is drawn back in the opposite direction.
