Verse 104

Tap any word for its meaning.

- । ॥ १०४ ॥

In plain words

Breathing in, breathing out, yawning, sneezing, trembling, and finally departing the body at death - all these, say those who know, are the workings of prāṇa and its four companions. Hunger and thirst, specifically, belong to prāṇa alone.

Close to the Sanskrit

Inhalation, exhalation, yawning, sneezing, twitching and so forth, and departure [from the body at death] — these activities, the knowers declare to be the functions of prāṇa and the other [vital airs]. Hunger and thirst are the [two] properties of prāṇa [itself].
