Haṭha Pradīpikā 2.70
पूरकान्ते गाढतरं बद्ध्वा जालन्धरं शनैः |
रेचयेन्मूर्छनाख्येयं मनोमूर्छासुखप्रदा ||70||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh
At the end of inhalation (pūrakānte | loc sg), having applied (baddhvā | abs) Jālandhara (jālandharam | acc sg) very firmly (gāḍhataram), one should exhale (recayet | 3p sg act opt) slowly (śanaiḥ); this practice is called Mūrcchā (mūrchanā-ākhyeyam | nom sg n) and bestows the pleasure of mental absorption (mano-mūrcchā-sukha-pradā | nom sg f).
In Mūrcchā, Jālandhara is applied firmly after inhalation, followed by a slow exhalation. The practice leads into a kind of sweet faintness or rapture of the mind.
Closing the passages with Jâlandhar Bandha firmly at the end of Pûraka, and expelling the air slowly, is called Mûrchhâ, from its causing the mind to swoon and giving comfort.
At the end of Puraka, practise the Jalandhara Bandha, and exhale the breath slowly. This is Murcha Kumbhaka, as it reduces the mind to a state of stupor and gives pleasure.
Nachdem man eingeathmet hat, nehme man allmählich die Jalandhara-Stellung ein, und athme langsam aus; dies wird Múrcchanâ genannt, betäubt den Geist und macht glücklich.

अन्तःप्रवर्तितोद्गारमारुतापूरितोदरः |
पयस्यगाधे ऽपि सुखात्प्लवते पद्मपत्रवत् ||71||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh
One whose abdomen has been filled by the wind of eructation directed inward (antar-pravartita-udgāra-māruta-āpūrita-udaraḥ | nom sg) floats (plavate | 3p sg med pres), even (api) in deep water (payasi agādhe | loc sg), with ease (sukhāt), like a lotus leaf (padma-patravat).
Plāvanī describes a body whose abdomen is filled with inwardly directed breath, allowing the yogi to float effortlessly even in deep water like a lotus leaf.

When the belly is filled with air and the inside of the body is filled to its utmost with air, the body floats on the deepest water, like the leaf of a lotus.
Having filled the lungs completely with the air till they are distended, the Yogi moves upon waters of great depth like a lotus leaf.
Wenn der Yogin seinen Bauch mit eingeathmeter, vorzüglicher Luft füllt, so schwimmt er gleich einem Lotusblatt leicht auf tiefem Wasser.
