Hath Yoga Pradipika • Chapter 3 • Shloka 11
कण्ठे बन्धं समारोप्य धारयेद्वायुमूर्ध्वतः |
यथा दण्ड-हतः सर्पो दण्डाकारः परजायते ||
By stopping the throat (by Jâlandhara Bandha) the air is drawn in from the outside and carried down. Just as a snake struck with a stick becomes straight like a stick, in the same way, śakti (suṣumnâ) becomes straight at once.
