The cosmic-bodily correspondence. Outer sun ↔ inner eye-prāṇa; outer earth ↔ inner downward-pull (apāna); outer space ↔ inner samāna; outer wind ↔ inner vyāna. Microcosm mirrors macrocosm.
सूर्य ही बाह्य प्राण है जो उदय होता है — वह नेत्र में स्थित प्राण को अनुगृहीत करता है। पृथ्वी में जो देवता है, वह मनुष्य के अपान को नीचे की ओर खींचता है। मध्य का आकाश समान है; वायु व्यान है।
अक्षरशः अनुवाद — मूल संस्कृत श्लोक के प्रत्येक पद का प्रत्यक्ष अर्थ।
The Sun is the outer Prāṇa rising — it favors this Prāṇa that resides in the eye. The deity in the earth pulls Apāna downward. The space between is Samāna; the air (wind) is Vyāna.

सूर्य ही बाह्य प्राण है जो उदय होता है — वह नेत्र में स्थित प्राण को अनुगृहीत करता है। धीमी और लंबी श्वास वेगस तंत्रिका को सक्रिय कर हृदय की गति और भय-प्रतिक्रिया को शांत करती है। यह पंक्ति उसी श्वास-मन संबंध को कहती 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.
