Bhuja (n.) = Arms
Anga (n.) = Body
Asana (n.) = Posture
Bhuja anga means someone whose body is the arms - which is snake. This is because snakes use their body as their arm - for example, arms are used to hold, grasp - their body is used exactly for that purpose.
This Asana is quite simple, much like the saral (easy version) which is given in the earlier post. Only that there are some people who may not do any of such Asanas which call for backward bending - Particurly people of Hernia, heart disease etc.
Drishti: (Bhru madhye) the middle of the eyebrows
Focus: the waist or the back

The final pose of Bhujangasan - one must raise the body(top-half) only upto the navel. Isnt that so?
Only then the part get the exercise + the strain.
Pl. correct me if I'm wrong.
I now saw your other pose(Saral Bhujangasana) that appears down in the page. Yes of course you've named it the 'saral' version. But thats not what i pointed out - I mean one must raise upto the navel in the Bhujangasan(part 14) itself.
Yes, very correct - what you are saying.
But it is also true that one may raise the navel off the ground by no more than 2-3 cms. refer to Satyananda's book
If the body is raised more than that, then the pressure is said to be applied in the region perhaps lower than be back.
