Transliteration: "maṇibandhaṃ nipīḍyaiva hastayorubhayorapi ॥9॥ aṅguṣṭhāṃ tarjanīṃ caiva tvekāmekatra yojayet ।। uttānau tu karau kṛtvā darśayecchaśakarṇikām ॥10॥ anjaliṃ niyatāṃ kṛtvā hruddeśe tu samāhitām ।"

Translation: "Pressing together both the wrists and both the hands and keeping together the thumb and fore-finger of each hand and keeping the hands raised is known as Sasakarnika Mudra. The sadhaka should display this mudra to have intimate link with the Deity. "
