The Instruction for Straightening the Crooked Composed by Kṛṣṇa Acyuta
The Instruction for Straightening the Crooked begins by recounting Kṛṣṇācārya’s encounter with a yogin named Kṛṣṇa Acyuta, while on the way with his retinue to Bengal. Acyuta taught Kṛṣṇācārya a method called “straightening the crooked” that relies on a forceful method of prāṇāyāma. The instruction here, as indicated by the title, is for straightening out the nāḍīs, vāyus, and bindus. It is of note that Acyuta claims his guru is Śiva and that Śiva’s guru is Vajradhara. We have no other details of the life of Acyuta.

Information about Unicode Tibetan and the digitization of this text
As the only available unicode Tibetan text at the time, Nitartha International's version of the Paro Edition of the gdams ngag mdzod is provided here. However, note that it has not been thoroughly edited and that there may also be mistakes introduced through the conversion process. Eventually we will provide a fully edited version of the entire Shechen Edition, entered and edited multiple times by Pulahari Monastery in Nepal, but as of fall 2017 that project has not been finished. Note that the folio numbers that appear throughout were added by Nitartha Input Center at the time of input.
