जैसे सम्राट् अधिकारियों को नियुक्त करता है — "इन गाँवों का, उन गाँवों का प्रबन्ध करो" — वैसे ही प्राण अन्य प्राणों को उनके पृथक्-पृथक् स्थानों पर नियुक्त करता है।

जैसे सम्राट् अधिकारियों को नियुक्त करता है — "इन गाँवों का, उन गाँवों का प्रबन्ध करो" — वैसे ही प्राण अन्य प्राणों को उनके पृथक्-पृथक् स्थानों पर नियुक्त 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.
