householder can become emancipated, if he prac-
tices the VAJROLI-MUDRA. 
55.  This VAJROLI-YOG practice, gives emanci-
pation even when one is immersed in sensuali-
ty ;  therefore it should be practised by the Yogi 
with great care.

61.  Verily, verily, men are born and die through 
semen ;  knowing this, let the Yogi always practise 
to preserve his semen. 
62.  When through great efforts success in the 
preservation of the semen is obtained, what then 
cannot be achieved in this world ?  Through the
