As the story continues, you are welcomed to consider all of the benefits and powers that over time arise from a yogic practice. The sages would call these "siddhis" or powers that a practitioner gains. In the story we see the treasures begin to emerge from the ocean, but can the Devatas keep their eye on their goal?

This practice is fully seated and upright, which enhances the experience of alertness and wakefulness. Being upright I also find I am more available to contemplate as I go, and notice the subtle shifts and changes. Seated practices are wonderful for the mornings and days when you are feeling more energetic.
