अथ केवलीकुम्भकः। हंकारेण बहिर्याति सःकारेण विशेत् पुनः। षट्शतानि दिवारात्रौ सहस्राण्येकविंशतिः। अजपां नाम गायत्रीं जीवो जपति सर्वदा ॥८४॥ |
atha kevalīkumbhakaḥ। haṃkāreṇa bahiryāti saḥkāreṇa viśet punaḥ। ṣaṭśatāni divārātrau sahasrāṇyekaviṃśatiḥ। ajapāṃ nāma gāyatrīṃ jīvo japati sarvadā ॥84॥ |
8.- KEVALI. |
The breath of every person in entering makes the sound of “sah” and in coming out, that of “ham” . These two sounds make ??? (so´ham “I am That”) or ???: (hamsa “The GreatSwan”). Throughout a day and a night there are twenty-one thousand and six hundred such respirations, (that is, 15 respirations per minute. Every living being (Jiva) performs this japa unconsciously, but constantly. This is called Ajapa gayatri. |
