शुचौ देशे प्रतिष्ठाप्य स्थिरमासनमात्मन: |
नात्युच्छ्रितं नातिनीचं चैलाजिनकुशोत्तरम् ||11||

Establishing a firm seat in a clean place, neither too high nor too low, covered with kusha grass, a deer skin, and cloth, one should practice yoga.

  • Śucau: Clean or pure.
  • Kuśa: Sacred grass used in rituals.
  • Āsana: Seat or posture.

The physical aspect of yoga begins here, emphasizing the importance of an environment conducive to meditation. Krishna underscores the practical setup required for focused spiritual practice.
