: archive.org: Gheranda SamhitaѲūīṻ (मयूरपी�) or Mayurāsana is one of the thirty-two Բ (postures) taught in the second chapter of the Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā: “Placing the palms of the two hands on the ground and the navel on the elbows, raise the body like a stick (parallel to the ground). This is called Ѳūīṻ. The esteemed Mayurāsana (which) burns up all the overaten, unwholesome food, stimulates gastric heat, digests the deadliest poison and quickly cures diseases like tumour and fever, is harmless�.
Ѳūīṻ is one of the selected 32 postures amongs 8,400,000 total mentioned by Śiva, according to Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā 2.1-2, “In all, there are as many Āsanas as species of animals. Eighty-four lacs of them are mentioned by Śiva. Out of them, 84 are regarded as important and among these 84, again 32 are good (enough) in this world of mortal beings�.
The 17th-century Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā (mentioning ū-īṻ) is one of the three classic texts of Ჹṻ-Dz: a major branch of Yoga, sharing similarities with the Yoga system taught by ʲٲñᲹ, though claiming its own mythical founder known as ѲٲԻٳ. This ṇḍ-ṃh is an encyclopedic Sanskrit treatise describing thirty two such Բ.

Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as Բ (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
