The difference between the base pose and the variation is that in the base pose, the lower body stays in Balasana and the arms and shoulders are in an outward stretch wherein in the variation the lower body is lifted and rested on the knees while the shoulders and the arms are in a stretched position just like the base pose but due to the lower body position, the arms are getting more stretch than the base pose.
