श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
देहेऽस्मिन्देहनाडीषु वातः स्फुरति योऽभितः ।
स्पन्देष्विव भुवो वारि स प्राण इति कीर्तितः ॥ १० ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
dehe'smindehanāḍīṣu vātaḥ sphurati yo'bhitaḥ |
spandeṣviva bhuvo vāri sa prāṇa iti kīrtitaḥ || 10 ||

Vasishtha replied:—There is a circulating air breathing through the lungs and arteries of the body, as the water flows through the veins and pores of the earth, and which is called the vital breath or life.
