Original Verse
"बलात् कुम्भित-वायोश्-च हृदयात् प्रान-चालनम् ॥ १८४ ॥
अध-ऊर्ध्वं स कुम्भस्-तु जीव-चालः शिवोदितः ॥
विद्धानां सर्व-सिद्धिः स्याद्- अविद्धानां तु ग्रन्थिदः ॥ १८५ ॥"
Transliteration
"balāt kumbhita-vāyoś-ca hṛdayāt prāna-cālanam ॥ 184 ॥
adha-ūrdhvaṃ sa kumbhas-tu jīva-cālaḥ śivoditaḥ ॥
viddhānāṃ sarva-siddhiḥ syād- aviddhānāṃ tu granthidaḥ ॥ 185 ॥"
Translation
"One should activate the prāṇa-vāyu downwards and upwards which is held forcibly inside. This is Jīva-cāla-Kumbhaka narrated by Śiva. When prāṇa penetrates (into suṣumnā), it leads to all accomplishment, if not, it leads to its morbid variations."
