Paśchima Tâna

प्रसार्य पादौ भुवि दण्ड-रूपौ

दोर्भ्यां पदाग्र-द्वितयं गृहीत्वा ।

जानूपरिन्यस्त-ललाट-देशो

वसेदिदं पश्चिमतानमाहुः ॥ ३०॥

Having stretched the feet on the ground, like a stick, and having grasped the toes of both the feet with both the hands, when one sits with his forehead resting on the thighs, it is called Paśchima Tâna.
