Ūܲṃsٳ (ऊरुसंस्थ) refers to “having placed (the feet and hands) between the thighs�, according to the Dattātreyayogaśāstra verse 35-38ab.—Accordingly, while describing the lotus pose (貹峾Բ): “Having carefully placed the upturned feet on the thighs and the upturned hands in between the thighs (ūܲṃsٳ), [the Yogin] should fix the eyes on the tip of the nose. Having lifted the uvula with the tongue; having fixed the chin on the chest and having drawn in the breath slowly according to his capacity, he should fill [the region of] the stomach. After that, he should exhale the breath slowly according to his capacity. This is said to be 貹峾Բ, which destroys all diseases�.
