44. As the dispersion of outward darkness presents the world to view, so the disappearance of inward obscurity gives out the light of the spirit before the mental sight.
45. The removal of intellectual darkness, produces the liberation of the soul, and shows the rising and setting sun of the vital breath vividly to view.
46. When the moon of the _apána_ or inspired breath, sets in the cavity of the heart, the sun of the _prána_ or expiratory breathing, rises immediately to gush out of the same.
47. The _apána_ or inhaling breath having set in the cell of the lotus like heart, the exhaling breath of _prána_ rises at the very moment to come out of it, as the shadow of the night being dispersed from sight, the bright sun of the day ushers his light.
48. As the _prána_ expiration expires in the open air, the inhaling breath rises and rushes in a moment; just as the light having fled from the horizon, is succeeded immediately by deep darkness.
49. Know ye intelligent men, that the _apána_ breath becomes extinct, where the _prána_ comes to be born; and the _prána_ respiration is lost, where the _apána_ takes its rise.
50. When the _prána_ breathing has ceased and the _apána_ has its rise, it is then that one supports himself upon the Kumbhaka retained air, and does not depend on two other passing breaths.
51. On the extinction of _apána_, and the rise of the _prána_ breath, one relying on the Kumbhaka air which is deposited within himself, is exempted from his pain and sorrow.
52. By depending on the _rechaka_ breath, and practicing the suppression of Kumbhaka breath, at the great distance of sixteen inches from the _apána_; a man has no more to be sorry for any thing.
53. By making the _apána_ a receptacle of _rechaka_, and filling the _prána_ in the inside, and finding himself filled with the _puraka_ all within his body, a man has no more to be born on earth.
54. When a man finds the perfect tranquillity of his soul, by subsidence of both the _prána_ and _apána_ within himself; he has no longer to sorrow for any thing whatever.
55. When a man reflects his _prána_ breath to be devoured by the _apána_ air both within as well as without himself, and loses his thoughts of time and space, he has no more any cause for sorrow.
