Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha

This is Swami Satyananda Saraswati's own practitioner manual, teaching asana, pranayama, mudra and bandha within the specific lineage and method of the Bihar School of Yoga he founded, and this atlas cites it at the tier reserved for a tradition's own statement of its practice rather than independent evidence about yoga generally. It is authoritative for how this specific modern lineage names and teaches its own techniques, not for a historical or comparative account of where any individual mudra or bandha originated across different yoga traditions. Use it for the content of a practice as this specific manual and lineage present it; a claim about a technique's origin across yoga traditions generally needs a dedicated historical source instead.
