bara

This position may be used as punishment, display, or for transporting a girl. She lays on her
stomach, face down and with her  cheek and breasts pressed to the floor, face turned to the left with her wrists crossed behind her back. Her ankles are usually crossed, as well, as if for binding. The Master may have the binding fibers at His belt, use those wound around her waist and holding her garment, or even bid the kajira to approach with them held in her teeth. 

"Bara, Kajira!" he said.  She rolled quickly to her stomach,  placing   her wrists behind her, crossed, and crossing her ankles, ready to be bound. p. 77,  Explorers of Gor

She places her hands behind her back, her shoulders pushed back and her breasts thrust outward, her hands clasped tightly with the wrists touching behind her back. She also may be hooded or gagged from this position. The position may be ordered as low, kneeling, or high, standing, as in lesha.

"Then, to my astonishment, the daughter of the Ubar Marlenus, daughter of the Ubar of Ar, knelt before me, a simple warrior of Ko-ro-ba, and lowered her head, lifting and extending her arms, wrists crossed. It was... the submission of the captive female. Without raising her eyes from the ground, the daughter of the Ubar said in a clear, distinct voice: `I submit myself.' ...I was speechless for a moment, but then, remembering that harsh Gorean custom required me either to accept the submission or slay the captive, I took her wrists in my hands and said, `I accept your submission.'" --p.93-94, Tarnsman of Gor She winced, her back bent painfully. "Do you wish me to submit to you now?" she begged."Do so," said he.She fell to her knees before him, and lifted her head to regard him.  "I will be  your slave," she said. Then, she knelt back on her heels, lowered her head,  and lifted and extended her arms, wrists crossed, as though for binding. She  was very beautiful. "I am your slave," she said, "--Master." p. 16, Hunters of Gor,   He took his strap off her throat, and unbound her hands. "Submit," I told her.She knelt before me, back on her heels, arms extended, head down, between  her arms, wrists crossed, as though for binding.  "I submit to you, Master," she said. I tied her hands together; she then lowered her bound wrists; I pulled up her  head. I held before her an opened collar, withdrawn from my sea bag. I had had one prepared. p. 74,   Explorers of Gor 

Crawl

The girl  gets down on all fours, palms to elbows  flat to the floor, her hips in the air with her forehead or cheek close to but not touching the floor and crawls to the Master's feet. This approach allows a girl to display her body to the Master in a variety of enticing ways.                   

I pointed to the stones at my feet. "Crawl," I said, in Gorean. The girl slipped to her belly, and, as a slave girl, crawled to my feet. She put her lips to my foot; I felt her hair over it.  p. 78,  Tribesmen of Gor

lifted and head turned to the left, offering her collar for leashing. Her wrists are behind her
back  ready for  slave bracelets to be used or her wrists bound with fibers. 

In high lesha,
the girl stands, her feet parted so the knees do not touch, her eyes lowered. Some girls beg to be leashed, sometimes crawling to their masters, their leash held between their small, fine teeth. Most masters use the leash at one time or another.A gorean saying has it that a leashed slave is a hot slave. p.366, #14 Fighting Slave of Gor "Lesha," snapped the second officer to the blond girl.She spun from facing him, and lifted her chin, turning her head to the left,placing her wrists behind her, as though for snapping them into slave   bracelets. p. 76, Explorers of Gor

He then kisses her exposed neck.

Modality of the She Qadruped
This is not technically a position but is definitely a command sometimes used for punishment. an instruction whereby the slave performs her regular duties upon hands and knees without the benefit of the use of her hands. In this mode she may not rise to her feet and may use only her mouth and teeth to grasp and manipulate objects.
Book 16: Guardsman of Gor, page 225 Book 21: Mercenaries of Gor, page 215

nadu
The first position a slave should learn, this is the position a slave or kajira (female slave in Gorean) or kajirus (male slave in Gorean) uses to  kneel before her Master (or Mistress,) her head held proudly high, eyes downcast in respect but not shame, knees spread wide open, shoulders back keeping her back straight or arched in a subtle manner to move the breasts outwards in an offering thrust. Her hands rest on her thighs. Some Master's prefer the  palms to be facing upward, displaying the offer of submission and service. 

"He suddenly snapped His fingers and, in the swift double gesture of a Gorean      Master, pointed to a place on the dirt floor before Him, almost simultaneously      turning His hand, spreading His first and index finger, pointing downwards.      I fled to Him and knelt before Him, my knees in the dirt, in the position of the      pleasure slave, my head down, trembling." Captive of Gor, p. 143.  "Look up," he said, "Kneel straightly. Put your hands on your thighs. Head up. Split your knees. More widely, slut!" Dancer of Gor, p. 51.  

gorean position of the pleasure slave and usually the first slave position taught to a new girl.  A kneeling slave is directed to straighten her back and sit on her heels, lifting her head, and placing her  hands, palms down, on her thighs. There are a couple of examples which suggest a variation of uplifted palms, though this appears to be an exception to the basic position.

"Now inch forwad," I said, " remaining low on your belly, and when you reach my feet, once again, as before,lifting your head a little, tenderly and humbly, and beautifully, as though you were a slave , lick and kiss them. Good. Good. Now take my foot and place it gently on your head. Very good. Now place it again on the Mat, and kiss it again. Good. You may now belly back a little, humbly. I have not yet given you permission to rise of course." p. 411 Mercenaries of Gor

 Slave Girl of Gor, p.  249."He looked me over. I blushed, under Gorean appraisal, I only wore my tether.      "Stand as a slave," he said. I stood beautifully, back straight, head high, belly sucked in, hip turned. No      woman can stand more beautifully than as a gorean slave girl.      "Excellant," said Ladletender, smacking his lips.  "Master is pleased," I said.  "Yes," he said.  "The slave too, is then pleased," I said.

submission, position of female

She kneels, bending at the waist with her hips rising into the air and  places her left cheek to the floor. She might, at His with take  her Master's right foot and place  it upon her neck, moving her arms behind her back, crossing them at the wrist. A Collared slave often greets her Master in this way. To touch a Master requires permission, normally. 

Swiftly we assumed a common form of slave obeisance, kneeling, the palms of our hands on the ground, our heads to the ground.  Many masters, though it tends to be rather associated usually with given cities, require this position of their girls, usually when they first enter his presence or  find themselves, as in a room which he has entered, in his presence. p. 114, Dancer of Gor 

Suga

Similar to the sula position, except once she has assumed the sula position she slowly lifts her hips up off the floor, as if beckoning him with her body, encouraging her sexual use by him. Not expressly described within the scrolls, but appears to be described in this passage: 

... she lay on her back, her knees drawn up,before me.  She arched her back. Her breasts were lifted beautifully. I observed their lovely rise and fall, correlated with the respiratory cycle of her small lungs. Then she lay back, her shoulders in the dirt, and pressing   against the earth with her small feet, piteously lifted before me, for my examination, and seizure, if I pleased, the deep belly of her, the sweet cradle of her slave's heat.  p. 329, Explorers of Gor   

Table
Used when a Master is in need of a table to rest his drink or to just rest his feet or elbows, she goes to all fours, locking her elbows, making her back smooth and level, holding her head level as well, eyes straight ahead. It may be used for punishment and can be tiring.

In this form of nadu, she kneels the same way, but with her palms down and her knees modestly together. The position may also be done with the arms crossed at the wrists before the kajira or the hands may be holding something, such as a tablet for inscribing ciphers, etc. This is referred to as the Tower Slave Position and is typically reserved for underage or white-silk slave girls, Free Women including those in temporary service to pay a debt,  or slave girls who serve their Master in a nonsexual way. Some Masters may ask their slaves to serve Others from this position, or Free Women are typically served in this position except by silk slaves who are also kajirus. 

"Kneel," I said. " 'Kneel' ,?" she asked. "That is my first order," I said. She regarded me. "Do you not know how a woman serves at table?" I asked. .... "You may keep your knees together," I said, "as you are a free woman."  Renegades of Gor, p. 69. "Kneel up," said a man. "Higher, up, off your heels. Keep those pretty knees     wide. Hold still." p. 99, Dancer of Gor 

Usage
(noun): This is a disciplinary position wherein the slave is ordered to lie supine and motionless in preparation for usage.
Book 13: Explorers of Gor, page 202

use - discipline
(noun): a punishment which avows the free man's prerogative to sexually use a house-owned girl as discipline.  There are examples which state that these rights are governed by a Code, wherein a girl may not be used or disciplined without the permission of her owner.

Book 25: Magicians of Gor, page 342

Whip
She first assumes the Nadu position, though with her arms crossed in front of her. She then leans forward and places her head to the floor, first sweeping her hair forward over her shoulders in order that her back might be utterly exposed to the whip.

"I went to Targo, trembling, and knelt at his feet... I crossed my wrists beneath me and touched my head to the floor, exposing the bow of my back. It is the submissive posture of a slave girl who is to be punished. It is called Kneeling to the Whip." page 200, Captive of Gor 

Whip-Kneeling
this command orders a slave to kneel, bowing her head to her knees, her wrists crossed under her as though bound. The position is intended to expose her back to the whip.
Book 3: Priest-Kings of Gor, page 201 and 202 Book 7: Captive of Gor, page 200 Book 15: Rogue of Gor, page 21 Book 18: Savages of Gor, page 137

gorean love bow

This position may be used in inventive serves, as an alternative to table, and is part of the "Belt Dance." She kneels in nadu position and bends her body backwards, her head to the floor, she places her hands by her head palms down and lowered to the floor, then pulls up into a back bend. The position is painful and not maintained for longer than a few minutes.  

her head then touched the furs, her body a cruel, helpless bow. p. 185, Assassin of Gor (within the belt dance of Phyllis Robertson)
