 The name comes from the Sanskrit words "siddha" (सिद्ध) meaning both "perfect" and "adept", and "asana" (आसन) meaning "posture" or "seat".The name Muktasana comes from मुक्त "mukta" meaning "liberation".Ann Swanson writes that the pose is called accomplished as it was the goal of all other asanas to ready the body to sit in meditation in this way.
