22. *Kuchumāra-yoga*—The arts as taught by Kuchumāra, the author of the *Aupanishadādhikāra*. According to the commentators these refer to some unspecified tricks.³ Kuchumāra need not necessarily mean the author of that name when no arts bearing his name are generally known. The term ‘*kucha*’⁴ means the ‘female breast’; hence it is just possible that the art may refer to the nursing or decoration of the female breast.⁵
