26. They are in possession of all, which is the sum total (tout ensemble) of what is to be had as the best gain; and whether when they are awake or asleep or walking or sitting, they never lose sight of that true light which leads them to the other world. 27. Those who have obtained the knowledge of the course of his breathings, have got rid of all delusion and rest in quiet within themselves (_i.e._ In watching their inspirations and over-looking the external phenomena). 28. And whether the intelligent people are employed in busy life, or sit inactive at home; they are always quiet and at rest by following the course of their respiration (neither breathing hard or being out breath). 29. I know, O Brahman! the exhaling breath, to rise from its source of the lotus like heart, and stretch to the distance of twelve inches out of it, where it sets or stops. (As is mixed up with the current air). 30. The _apána_ or inhaling breath is taking in from the same distance of twelve inches, and is deposited in the cup of the lotus situated in the human heart. 31. As the _prána_ respiration is exhaled out in the air, to the distance of twelve inches from the heart, so the inhaled air of _apána_ is taken into the breast, from the same distance of the open sky. 32. The _prána_ or exhaling breath runs towards the open air, in the form of a flame of fire, and the inhaled breath turns inward to the region of the heart, and goes downward like a current of water. 33. The apána or inhaled breath is like the cooling moon light, and refreshes the body from without; while prána respiration resembling the sunshine or a flame of fire, warms the inside of the body. 34. The _prána_ breath warms every moment the region of the heart, as the sunshine inflames the region of the sky; and then it torrifies the atmosphere before it, by the exhalation of breath through the mouth. 35. The _apána_ air is as the moonlight before the moon, and being inhaled inward, it washes the sphere of the heart as by a deluge; then it refreshes the whole inside in a moment. 36. When the last digit of the moon-like _apána_ or inhaling breath, is swallowed by the sun of the _prána_ or exhaling breath; it meets with the sight of supreme spirit, and has no more any cause of affliction. 37. So also when the last portion of the sunlike _prána_ or exhaling breath, is swallowed by the moon-like _apána_ or inhaling breath; then there ensues the same visitation of Brahmá in the inside, and the soul is emancipated from further transmigration in this world. (The meeting of the two is a _yoga_ or junction of the human and Divine spirits). 38. The _prána_ or exhaling breath assumes the nature of the solar heat, both in the inside and outside of the body; and afterwards it becomes and remains as the cooling moonlight. (It is the one and same breath of air, that takes the two names, according to its two different natures of inspiration and expiration. gloss).
