| पञ्चमोध्यायः,-Pranayama, (Ch.-5, V.-35) |
घेरण्ड उवाच- मलाकुलासु नाडीषु मारुतो नैव गच्छति। प्राणायामः कथं सिध्येत्तत्त्वज्ञानं कथं भवेत्। तस्मादादौ नाडीशुद्धिं प्राणायामं ततोऽभ्यसेत् ॥३५॥ |
gheraṇḍa uvāca- malākulāsu nāḍīṣu māruto naiva gacchati। prāṇāyāmaḥ kathaṃ sidhyettattvajñānaṃ kathaṃ bhavet। tasmādādau nāḍīśuddhiṃ prāṇāyāmaṃ tato'bhyaset ॥35॥ |
The Vayu does not (cannot) enter the nadis so long as they are full of impurities (e.g., faeces, &c.) How then can Pranayama be accomplished? How can there be knowledge of Tattvas? Therefore, first the Nadis should be purified, and them Pranayama should be practised. |
