Original Verse
"नासाग्रधारणाद्वापि जितो भवति सुव्रत ॥ २३ ॥
सर्वरोगनिवृत्तिः स्यान्नाभिमध्ये तु धारणात् ।
शरीरलघुता विप्र पादाङ्गुष्ठनिरोधनात् ॥ २४ ॥"
Transliteration
"nāsāgradhāraṇādvāpi jito bhavati suvrata ॥ 23 ॥
sarvaroganivṛttiḥ syānnābhimadhye tu dhāraṇāt |
śarīralaghutā vipra pādāṅguṣṭhanirodhanāt ॥ 24 ॥"
Translation
By one holding it at the tip of the nose, O thou of austere vow! will (the Prana air) be brought under complete control, by holding it /in the middle of the navel there will be avoidance of all diseases; by confining it to the big toes of the feet, O Brahman, there will be lightness of the body.
