Trijagatprāṇa (त्रिजगत्प्राण) refers to the “vital air of the three worlds”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.1 (“The dalliance of Śiva”).—Accordingly, as the Gods said to Lord Viṣṇu: “O Viṣṇu, the lord of the gods, O lord and protector of all, save us who have sought refuge in you and whose minds are acutely terrified. The vital air of the three worlds (trijagatprāṇa) is stunned. We do not know wherefore. The three worlds including the mobile and immobile as well as the gods and the sages are excited”.
