O Sankyti! This human body is merely ninety-six fingers in measurement made by the hand of the concerned person. The place for fire is existed in the centre of this body. Its colour has been stated analogous to the melting gold.
It is of triangular shape. We have explained this utmost fact to you. The region two fingers up from the region of anus and
two fingers below from the genital should be deemed as the middle part of the human body It is the 'Mooladhara'. However, nine fingers upside from this region is the place for the cluster of nerves (Kanda).
The length and width of that cluster is four fingers each and it is just in oval shape of the egg. It is adorned or duly covered by the membranes at the upper side.
O hermit! The scientists also have stated that the nucleus of the navel is existed at the middle of the cluster. The nerve existing just at the middle has been described as 'Susumna' by the scientists.
As much as 72,000 nerves exists around that cluster.
The cardinal nerves among them are - Suşumnä, Pingalā, Ida, Sarasvati, Varunā, Paşa, Yaśasvinī, Hastijihvā,
Alambusā, Kuho, Viśvodart, Payasvint, Sankhint and Gåndhårt. These are fourteen in number.
Out of these fourteen nerves, the first three are most important and major. Further, Suşumna nerve is the greatest among these three. The metaphysicians have addressed it as Brahmanadı.
The stick like formation is renowned as the spinal cord. It is a junction of bones. The Suşumnă nerve accesses to the brain by making its way between the hole made in these bones.
O hermit! The kundalini is existed just below two fingers from the cluster of navel. It has been stated in the form of the eight natures i.e., the earth, the water, the splendour, the wind, the ether, the mind, the wisdom and the ego.
That wind exists by covering from all sides the collateral part of that cluster and restricts the attempts, the water and the food.
O hermit! Kundalini keeps covered the mouth of Brahmarandhra through its extension. The nerves Ida and Pingala are existed at the left and right to the spinal respectively.
The nerves Sarasvatt and kuhū are existed at both collateral parts of the spinal. The nerves Gåndhara and Hastijihva at the back and front to the Ida nerve respectively.
The nerves Puşa and Yaśasvinī are respectively existed at the front and the rear of the Pingala. The Viśvodari nerve is existed in the middle of the kuhū and Hastijihva.
The Varuņa nerve is existed in the middle of the Yaśasvini and kuhu. The location of Payasvini has been stated in the middle of the Püşa and Sarasvati.
The location of Sankhini is in the middle of Gandhari and Sarasvati nerve. The alambusă nerve is extended from the middle portion of the cluster to the anus.
The second nerve of Suşumnå is Raka and the Kuha nerve is existed at the east to it. This nerve is enshrined both sides i.e., up and down. Its location has been stated as extended upto the right nose.
The Ida nerve is extended upto the left nose. The Yaxasvint nerve is extended upto the thumb of foot. The Püsa nerve is extended upto the left eye by moving from the back side of Pingala. As per the scholars, Payasvini nerve has been stated that it extends upto the right ear.
The Sarasvati nerve is extended upto the tongue and the Hastijivha nerve upto the left thumb of the foot.
The Sankhini nerve is extended upto the left ear. The persons known to Veda have been stated that the Gandhari nerve is extended upto the left eye.
The position of Viśvodara nerve has been stated in the middle of the cluster. The ten breathings have been stated. These are Präņa, Apăna, Vyāna, Udana,
Samāna, Naga, Kürma, Krkara, Devadatta and Dhananjaya. These breathings are circulated all over the nervous system.
The fine winds are cardinal among these ten breathings. Further, the Prana and Apăna have been given the utmost importance out of these cardinal breathings.
The wind known as 'Praņa' always exists in the middle of nose and the mouth, in the middle of navel and the heart.
The Apana wind always exists in anus, genital pubic, knees, the entire belly, waist, navel and the thighs.
The Vyana wind is circulated in both ears, both eyes, both shoulders, both ankles, the region of Prana and the throat too.
The Udana wind circulates in both hands and the feet. The Samana wind circulates with equal pace all over the body.
The five winds including Naga, circulate in the skin and the bone. O Sankyti! The exhale, inhale as also coughing are the functions of the Präna wind.
The Apana wind does the function of discharging the excreta and the urine. O hermit! The Samana wind accommodates adjustment all over the body.
The Udana wind circulates upward. The scholar's expert in Vedas considered that the Vyana wind is only the originator of sound.
O great hermit! The Naga wind does the function of vorniting and cructation etc. The Dhananjaya wind renders the beauty to all organs of the body.
The kurma wind does the function of opening and closing the eyes. The Krkala wind makes to feel the hunger and thirst and the Devadatta wind does the function of creation, laxity and dormance to the body.
The deity to the spinal nerve is Lord Siva, to Ida nerve is Lord Visņu and to Pingala nerve is Brahma.
The deity to Sarasvati nerve is Virat (gigantic), to Püşå nerve is Sun (known as Paşa), the diety to Varuna nerve is the wind and to Hastijihva nerve is Varuņa (water).
O great hermit! Lord Sun is the god of Yaśasvini nerve. The god to Alambusa nerve is Varuna, the god of water.
The goddess to Kuhu nerve is Kşudda (hunger). The god to Gandhari nerve is moon, the god to Sankhini nerve is also the moon and the god to Payasvinī nerve is Prajapati.
The god to Viśvodară nerve is god of fire. O the great hermit and expert in Veda! The moon and Sun are
circulated always in Ida nerve and Pingalā nerves respectively. The transition of the Sun from the Pingala nerve
to Idă is called Uttarayana by the learned hermits. In the similar fashion, a transition of Sun from Ida to Pingala
is called Dakşinayana. O hermit! When the breathing moves at the joining of Ida and Pingala, the intervening time in called Amaväsyä within that body.
When the breathing inserts in Müladhara,
The ascetics has stated the time as a yoga namely, Adyavisuva, O great hermit! When the breathing wind enters into Sahasrara Cakra,
this time has been described by our great hermits as the climax state of the Visuva yoga. The exhale and inhale of breathing have been considered as the Sankranti of respective then month.
O master among metaphysicians! The time when the breathing comes near to Kundalini by means of Ida nerve is called the lunar eclipse.
When the breathing enters in the region of Kundalini through the Pingala nerve, it has been accepted as the time of solar eclipse.
In this body too, there is existed the pilgrim place namely Śrī Saila instead of the head. The popular pilgrim place i.e., Kedara is enshrined on the forehead. O the hermit of great conscience! Kasi is existed in the middle of the nose and both eyebrows.
Kurukşetra is existed in the region of both nipples. The king place of pilgrim i.e., Prayaga is existed in the heart lotus. The pilgrim place i.e., Cidambara is existed in the central region of heart. Kamalalaya, the place of pilgrim is existed in the region of Muladhara Cakra.
The person who moves to and fro to visit in the exterior place of pilgrim by giving up his visit to such pilgrim place of soul; is a man who searches out the glass by giving up the precious gems already existed in his hands.
The place of pilgrim known as spiritual place is the best among all. A man kisses and embraces his wife as also his daughter but spirit lying behind is thoroughly distinct and separate.
The man perfect in yoga keeps extreme faith and obeisance on the place of his soul's pilgrim and seldom resorted to the hurdles made of wood and stone and the places where the rivers are flown.
The pilgrimages of the inner world are much superior to the pilgrimages of the external world, these are the great pilgrimages, all other pilgrimages are meaningless in comparison to these inner pilgrimages.
The polluted mind residing inside the body does not become pure merely by immersing oneself in external places of pilgrimage; Because even if a pitcher filled with liquor is washed hundreds of times in holy water, it still remains impure due to the presence of liquor inside the pitcher.
The man can only make himself holy when he takes bath in Väränasi etc. pilgrim places as these are existed in the middle of the nose and eyebrows in the intervening time of Visuva yoga, Utarayana, Daksinäyana and the time when the sun and moon are eclipsed.
The water used for washing the feet of scholars stands as the best pilgrim place for cleaning the bosom of the persons looming large in the ignorance.
An entity of the supreme soul is residing in the form of Lord Siva in this very body. The foolish and ignorant person continuously searches the god in the place of pilgrim, donation, Japa (silent recital), offering, wood and in the stone because of not realising Lord Šiva in his own body.
The person who only worship the icons and neglects the elements of supreme soul that remains ever-lasting in his heart is like a man who licks his elbow and throws the morsel in the hand.
The yogis perceive Lord Siva in their own soul. They never resort to worship the pieces of stones and the wood. The icons are notional and only to inspire the men to have a spiritual faith on Lord Siva who already is residing in the hearts of all living organisms.
The person competent to peep into his soul and perceive the Brahma in garb of pleasure only observes in the true sense that Brahma is unborn, all causative, always true, excellent and in the form of conscience in depth.
O great hermit! This human body is only a cluster of nerves and always void of essence. Give up all attachments with this trivial body and resolve by your wit that you yourself are in the form of supreme soul.
A scholar and the patient man seldom suffer agony when he duly realizes the everlasting element of supreme soul who is distinct from the body even after residing within it, a noble, omnipresent and God to all.
O great hermit! who will discuss on the topic of establishing the false discrimination between the soul and Brahma at a state when the ignorance is entirely eliminated by virtue of the true knowledge.
