KukkuṭṭoḍḍānԲ (कुक्कुट्टोड्डानासन) is the name of an Բ (posture) described in the Haṭhābhyāsapaddhati (37).—Accordingly, “Put the palms of the hands on the ground and kick the soles of the feet upwards, then fall on to the ground. Do the same action over and over again. This is flying-upwards-like-a-cock (ܰṭṭḍḍԲ)�.
