The yogic anatomy: the heart is the seat of Ātman; from it radiates a vast network of nāḍīs (subtle channels) totaling, in this enumeration, 727 million branches. Vyāna — the diffusive prāṇa — moves through all of them.
आत्मा हृदय में निवास करता है। यहाँ से एक सौ एक मुख्य नाडियाँ निकलती हैं; प्रत्येक से सौ-सौ, फिर हर एक से बहत्तर हजार शाखाएँ। इन सबमें व्यान संचार करता है।

आत्मा हृदय में निवास करता है। देह के पदार्थ बदलते रहते हैं, पर जानने का बोध बना रहता है। यह पंक्ति उसी अंतर को कहती है — जो बदलता है वह आवरण है, जो जानता है वह निरंतर है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
