प्रेक्षेऽहमिति भावेन द्रष्टुं प्रसरतीव खे ।

tato randhradvayenaiva bhāvibāhyābhidhaṃ punaḥ || 28 ||

It appears to me to take its flight to the sky, to see what is passing there (i. e. the manner in which the mental eye of the Yogi penetrates the regions of air). And then it enters the body by two holes, which have the names of the external organs (of sight) given them afterwards.
