Gheranda Samhita is another text which describes Asanas and Mudras in details. Along with Hatha Yoga Pradipika and Shiva Samhita, it is one the 3 classic treatises on Yoga.



The performance of Asanas is done in order to gain Dhrirata or firmness.



enter image description here



So, Asanas, Mudras etc are practiced as part of a larger Yogic procedure.



The 2nd Chapter of this text deals exclusively with Asanas and the 3rd with Mudras. Mudras given are also very similar to Asanas. For example, Viparatikarani, which is usually considered an Asana, is given under Mudras.



According to Gheranda Samhita there are 84 hundreds thousands Asanas as described by Lord Shiva. Of which only 84 are chief. Of which again only 32 are useful for us.




Gheranda said ---- 1. There are 84 hundreds of thousands of Asanas
described by Shiva. The postures are as many as there are numbers of
species of living creatures in this universe.




  1. Among them 84 are the best; and among these 84, 32 have been found useful for mankind in this world.




Then in the next few verses the names of these 32 Asanas are given:



enter image description here



So, the 32 Asanas like Padmasana, Bhadrasana, Swastikasana etc .. are mentioned and the procedures of forming them are also given in the subsequent portion of the chapter 2.



The PDF of the text can viewed from here.

    Yes apart from Hatha Yoga Pradipika a text called The Yoga Yajnavalkya is describing these asanas. Yoga Yajnavalkya is a dialog between well known Rishi Yajnavalkya and Gargi a Brahmavadini.



    Chapter three of Yoga Yajnavalkya is describing list of eight asanas in detail with procedure. These Asanas are Svastikasana , Gomukhasana , Padmasana , Virasana ,Simhasana ,Bhadrasana ,Muktasana and Mayurasana. As well as variations of these Asanas. I am posting some of them with shlokas.




    याज्ञवल्क्य उवाच :
    आसनान्यधुना वक्ष्ये शृणु गार्गि तपोधने ।
    स्वस्तिकं गोमुखं पद्मं वीरं सिंहासनं तथा ॥ १ ॥
    भद्रं मुक्तासनं चैव मयूरासनमेव
    च ।
    तथैतेषां वरारोहे पृथग्वक्ष्यामि लक्षणम्
    ॥२॥



    Yajnavalkya said : Now i will describe the Asanas .Gargi rich in
    austerity ,listen to me . Svastikasana , Gomukhasana , Padmasana ,
    Virasana ,Simhasana ,Bhadrasana ,Muktasana and Mayurasana. I will
    describe these asanas one by one .






    Apart from asanas mentioned in Hata Yoga pradipika the Yoga Yajnavalkya is mentioning Mukta Asana which is not in the list.



    Muktasana




    सम्पीड्य सीवनीं सूक्ष्मां गुल्फेनैव तु सव्यतः ।
    सव्यं
    दक्षिणगुल्फेन मुक्तासनमितीरितम् मुक्तासनमितीरितम् ॥13॥



    Press the perineum by the left ankle ,and the left ankle by right
    ankle -this is known as Muktasana.




    enter image description here








    So Yoga-Yajnavalkya is describing asanas apart from list given above.Here are Sanskrit verses of
    Yoga Yajnavalkya
