Note 217 — Chapter II · (continued 2)

प्राण prána is breath, expiration, and inspiration; अपान apána is flatulence, crepitus. Besides these two winds, the Hindus name three other winds, namely: Jamána, eructation, supposed to be essential to digestion; Udána, passing from the throat into the head; it is the pulsation of the arteries in the head, the neck, and temples; Vyána, expanding through the whole body; it is the pulsation of the rest of the superficial arteries and occasional puffiness of external parts, indicating air in the skin (see Vedanta Sara, edit. Calc., p. 9; and Sánkhyá Kárita, work quoted, p. 105).
