Many many thanks to Satya Murthy for the continuing translation.
Krishnamacharya wrote his book Yoga Makaranda in 1934 in the Kannada language, the Tamil edition was published in 1938.
Krishnamacharya's Yogasanagalu was first published in the Kannada language in 1941, the 3rd edition was published in 1972
This, along with Krishnamacharya's other book Yoga Makaranda (downloadable HERE), was originally written in Mysore while Krishnamacharya was teaching at the Mysore Palace and while Sri K Pattabhi Jois was his student.
See THIS post for a little background to the text and a video of a flick thorough the book and pictures
Introduction to his 1st, 2nd and 3rd editions can be found HERE
The translation thus far brought together in a single post (this will live in the sidebar over on the left of my blog above the free download section).
* Apologies for the inconsistency of the pictures in the practice sheets. I wanted to make up something to explore the sequences in my own practice and these are mostly pictures I already had on file, hopefully they give a better idea of the sequences than the list of asana.

Really interesting to watch the photos. badkonasana and upavishta at the ending ha? different, I can see it happening though
Grim, are you jumping back and through to new asana in this krama, or are you moving right from one asana to the next?
Nice to see the visual representation.
Yes, curious, clearly an order of sorts here, though I still like to think of it as signposts, Ramaswami talked about Mahamudra and badha konasana at the end as a lead in to .pranayama . I'll get a better feel for it when I actually practice it, once my leg heals up.
Good question anon, these sheets are just a visual representation of the list with pictures from my files, made it up so I could use it to practice with.
Satya's says he doesn't find mention of the jump through etc but I'd be tempted to bring in Yoga Makaranda which did include jumping in and out of the postures. It will be interesting to see what the vinyasa count is on paschimottanasana say or one of the other seated postures to see if it matches up with Makaranda thus implying a jump through.
I'd be tempted to jump in and out of the different mini subroutines rather than after every posture or side.
Lots to explore.
Thank you excellent...
