Yoga-Kundilint-Upanishad of Krishna-Yajur Veda.
CHAPTER II. I shall hereafter describe the science called Khechari,
which is such that one who knows it is freed from old age and death. One who is subject to the pains of death and old age should, O Sage, on knowing this science make his mind firm and practice Khechari. One should regard that person as his Guru on earth who knows Khechrai, the destroyer of old age, death and sickness, both from books and practice, and should perform it with all his heart. The science of Khechari is not easily attainable nor its practice. Its practice and Melana are not done together. Those that are bent on practice alone do not get Melana. Only soine get the practice, O Brahman, after several births, but Melana is not obtained after even a hundred births. Having undergone the practice after several births, some (solitary) Yogi gets the Melana in some future birth as the result of his practice. When a Yogi gets this Melana from the mouth of his Guru, then he obtains the Siddhis (psychical powers) mentioned in the several books. When a man gets this Melana through books and artha (esoteric signification), then he attains the state of Siva freed from all re-births. Even Gurus may not be able to know this without books. Therefore this science is very difficult
