Haṭha Pradīpikā 2.52
पूर्ववत्कुम्भयेत्प्राणं रेचयेदिडया ततः |
श्लेष्मदोषहरं कण्ठे देहानलविवर्धनम् ||52||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh
As before (pūrvavat), one should retain (kumbhayet | 3p sg act opt) Prāṇa (prāṇam | acc sg) and afterwards (tataḥ) exhale (recayet | 3p sg act opt) through Iḍā (iḍayā | ins sg); this practice removes the disorder of phlegm (śleṣma-doṣa-haram | acc sg n) in the throat (kaṇṭhe | loc sg) and increases the body's fire (deha-anala-vivardhanam | acc sg n).
After inhaling, retain the breath as before and then exhale through the left nostril. Ujjāyī is regarded as clearing the throat and Kapha disorders and strengthening the inner fire.
It should be restrained, as before, and then let out through Idâ (the left nostril). This removes śleṣmâ (phlegm) in the throat and increases the appetite.
Perform Kumbhaka as before and exhale through Ida. This removes the phlegm from the throat and increases the digestive power of the body.
Wie zuvor halte man den Athem an und athme durch die Idâ wieder aus; dies heilt Phlegmakrankheiten im Hals, und facht das Körperfeuer (d. h. das Verdauungsfeuer) an.

The retention called Ujjāyī (ujjāyī-ākhyam kumbhakam | nom sg n) removes (vināśanam | nom sg n) disorders situated in the channels, bodily fluids, abdomen, and as far as all the bodily constituents (nāḍī-jala-udara-ādhātu-gata-doṣa | tp acc). It is also (tu) to be performed (kāryam | nom sg n pfp) while walking or standing still (gacchataḥ tiṣṭhataḥ | gen sg m pca).
Ujjāyī is said to remove disorders in the Nāḍīs, bodily fluids, abdomen, and tissues. A form without Bandhas can also be practised while walking or standing.
According to Brahmānanda, Ujjāyī can indeed be practised while walking or standing, but then without Bandhas. The complete form, which includes retention and the locks, belongs in a stable seat. He thus distinguishes a mobile breathing form from the actual Kumbhaka practice.

It destroys the defects of the nâdîs, dropsy and disorders of Dhâtu (humours). Ujjâyî should be performed in all conditions of life, even while walking or sitting.
This is called Ujjayi, and it should be practised walking or sitting. It removes all the diseases from the Nadis, and the Dhatus as also the dropsy.
Dieser Ujjayî genannte Kumbhaka soll gehend oder stehend ausgeführt werden; er vernichtet die Wassersucht der Nâdî und die bis zu den Dhâtu vordringenden Schäden.
