'''Eka Pada Koundinyasana II''' (IPA: [ɐːsɐnɐ]; Sanskrit: एक पद कोउन्दिन्यसन ईई; IAST: Eka Pada Koundinyāsana II) or One legged arm balance is an asana.
== Etymology ==
This asana is dedicated to the sage Koundinya. There is a version that sage Koundinya himself was created by Parvati for the purpose of extracting and fermenting the sap of the wild date palm and thus supplying the wants of gods and men in the matter of intoxicating drinks.
The name comes from the Sanskrit words eka meaning "one", pada meaning "foot", koundinya for the sage of the same, and "asana" meaning "posture" or "seat".
