懸腳坐 [xuan jiao zuo]—Suspended-leg Sitting: [Term] A method for subduing demons and spirits (降伏鬼神 [jiang fu gui shen]). In the ritual text (儀軌 [yi gui]) for Marshal Aṭavaka (阿吒薄俱元帥 [a zha bao ju yuan shuai]), it states: "Suspended-leg sitting involves quickly forming fists with both hands, pressing them over both eyes, quickly biting the lower lip with the upper lip, and staring with eyes wide open (裂睚看 [lie ya kan]). This is the mudra (印 [yin]) of Aṭavaka (阿吒婆拘 [a zha po ju]) for subduing great demons and demonic spirits."
