Out of the 84 asanas Siddhasana should always be practiced, because it cleanses the impurities of 72,000 nadis.八十四個體式中至善坐要持續練習，因為它淨化72000經脈中的不淨。

By contemplating on oneself, by eating sparingly, and by practicing Siddhasana for 12 years, the Yogi obtains success.內觀自己，節制飲食，和練習至善坐十二年，瑜珈士就可獲得成就。

《哈他瑜珈之光》(于伽英文譯本)1.43

Other postures are of no use, when success has been achieved in Siddhasana, and Prana Vayu becomes calm and restrained by Kevala Kumbhaka.當在至善坐收穫成功後，其他體式就不必用了，呼吸變得平靜，为自發的屏息所控製。

《哈他瑜珈之光》(于伽英文譯本)1.44

Success in one Siddhasana alone becoming firmly established, one gets Unmani at once, and the three bonds (Bandhas) are accomplished of themselves.獨自成功做到至善坐，變得牢固穩定，入定輕易獲得，三個收束自發完成。

《哈他瑜珈之光》(于伽英文譯本)1.45

There is no asana like the Siddhasana and no Kumbhaka like the Kevala. There is no mudra like the Khechari and no laya like the Nada (Anahata Nada).沒有體式像至善坐殊勝，沒有屏息法像自發住氣法殊勝，沒有身印像逆舌身印殊勝，沒有一種深定像內在的秘音殊勝。

Padmasana.
