The number of nadis of the human body is claimed to be up to hundreds-of-thousands and even millions. The Shiva Samhita treatise on yoga states, for example, that out of 350,000 nadis 14 are particularly important, and among them, the three just mentioned are the three most vital. [1] The three principal nadis are ida, pingala, and sushumna. [2]
The Amaraugha says that Vajroli is attained, presumably with samadhi, when the mind has become pure and the sushumna nadi, the central channel, has been unblocked to allow breath to flow freely. [13] The Vivekamārtaṇḍa and the Gorakṣaśataka, both of which describe hatha yoga techniques in detail, do not mention Vajroli mudra. [13]
The pose is a modern one, first seen in the 20th century. It is described in Krishnamacharya's 1934 Yoga Makaranda, [10] and in the works of his pupils, B. K. S. Iyengar's 1966 Light on Yoga [11] and Pattabhi Jois's Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. [12] [9]

The yoga scholars James Mallinson and Mark Singleton write that "pure breath-retention" [15] (without inhalation or exhalation) is the ultimate pranayama practice in later hatha yoga texts.

The 15th century Hatha Yoga Pradipika states that the pose destroys all diseases, and that a yogin in the pose who retains the air breathed in through the nadi channels attains liberation.
