Translation:

II- 47. By relaxation of effort or by a [mental] state-of-balance with reference to Ananta
[A posture] results. With these words the sentence is completed. When efforts cease the posture
is completed,so that there is no agitation of the body. Or the mind-stuff comes into a balanced-
state with reference to Ananta and produces the posture. (Vyasa) Having stated what the
postures are, he tells what are the means of attaining them. 47.By relaxation of effort or by a
[mental] state-of-balance with reference to Ananta. A natural effort sustaining the body is not the
cause of this kind of posture which is to be taught as an aid to yoga. For if its cause were such,
the preaching of it would be purposeless in that it could be naturally perfected. Therefore this
natural effort does not accomplish this kind of posture which is to be taught and is contrary [to
it]. For in so far as this [natural posture] is the cause of an arbitrarily chosen posture it is the
destroyer of the specific kind of posture. Consequently a man, practising the specific posture as
taught, should resort to an effort which consists in the relaxation of the natural effort. Otherwise
the posture taught cannot be accomplished. Or . . . with Ananta,^ the Chief of Serpents, who
upholds the globe of the earth upon his thousand very steadfast hoods, [with him] the mind-stuff
comes into a balanced state and produces the posture". (Vachaspati Micra)

Therefore, how many breathings for which asana? When is inhalation? When is exhalation? In what way? When body is stretched forward,
inhalation or exhalation? What about when you raise your head? To know this mystery and practice in order is called Vinayasa. These along with
the significance of each asana will be discussed in 1 to 32
