The name comes from the Sanskrit words kukkuṭā meaning "cockerel" [5] and asana (आसन) meaning "posture" or "seat". [6]Kukkutasana is described in medieval hatha yoga texts including the 7th century Ahirbudhnya Saṃhitā, [7] the 13th century Vasishtha Samhita, [8] the 15th century Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā 1.23, the 17th century Gheraṇḍa Saṃhitā 2.31, and the Bahr al-hayat c. 1602.
A single asana is listed for each main pose, whether or not there are variations. Thus for Sirsasana (Yoga headstand), only one pose is illustrated, although the pose can be varied by moving the legs apart sideways or front-and-back, by lowering one leg to the floor, by folding the legs into lotus posture, by turning the hips to one side, by placing the hands differently on the ground, and so on.
