MASTYASANA :-

It is reated that once upon a time the whole earth had of all things. It is krealted that once upon a time the whole earth had become corrupt anedws about to be overwhelmed by a universal flood. Vsnu took the form of fish and warned Manu (the Hindu Adam ) of klthe impending disaster. The fish then carried Manu, his family and the seven great sages in a ship, fastened to a horn on his head. It also saved the Vedas from the flood. Assuming the Mukta Padmasana (i.e. without the crossing of the hands), lie supine, surrounding the head by both the elbows. This is Matsyasana, the destroyer of diseases
