TRANSLATION
At the past midnight, in a place where there are no sounds of any animal, &c., to be heared, let the yogi practice puraka and kumbhaka, closing the ears by the hands (5.78). He will hear then various internal sounds in his right ear. The first sound will be like that of crickets, then that of a lute, then that of a thunder, then that of a drum, then that of a beetle, then that of bells, then those of gougs of bell-metal, trumpets, kettles-drums, mridanga, military drums, and dundubhi, etc (5.79 and 5.80). Thus various sounds are cognized by daily practice of this Kumbhaka. Last of all is heard the Anahatha sound rising from the heart; of this sound there is a resonance, in that resonance there is a light. In that Light the mind should be immersed. When the mind is absorbed, then it reaches the Highest seat of Vishnu (Parama-pada). By success in this Bhramari Kumbhaka one gets success in samadhi (5.81 and 5.82).
TECHNIQUE
1. In anilasana, hum intensely, as deeply as possible, as loudly as possible

3. Do this for 7 minutes
