Original Verse：

"नासाहृद्गलतालुचिल्लिसिरसीहास्थाप्य योगी जयेद्

ऊर्द्वाकर्षणयोगतो मुहुरमुं वायुं समानं धिया॥

मूर्ध्नः पादतलं च यावदसकृद्यातानुयातक्रिया

यातो रेचकपूरकुम्भविषय्ऐः शीघ्रं वशी योगवित् ॥७॥"

Transliteration： "nāsāhṛdgalatālucillisirasīhāsthāpya yogī jayed ūrdvākarṣaṇaYogato muhuramuṃ vāyuṃ samānaṃ dhiyā॥ mūrdhnaḥ pādatalaṃ ca yāvadasakṛdyātānuyātakriyā yāto recakapūrakumbhaviṣayaiḥ śīghraṃ vaśī Yogavit ॥7॥"

Translation：

Raising up samana and holding it at nose, heart, throat, palate, eyebrows and head, a Yogi controls it with one pointedness. This technique should be repeated from head to toes through Rechaka, Kumbhaka, and Puraka. Thus one soon gains control on it.
