Section 2 38
पंचप्राण तथा उनके कार्य | The five elements and their functions
Summary (in English)
In this sloka, the concept of prāṇa (life energy) is explained, showing how it transforms into different forms such as apāna (downward-moving energy), vyāna (circulating energy), udāna (upward-moving energy), and samāna (balancing energy). These forms arise due to differences in functions and variations, similar to how gold and water, though inherently the same, take different shapes based on conditions. This highlights the adaptability and intrinsic diversification within the life force, crucial in understanding yogic and Vedantic teachings related to bodily and spiritual energies.
सारांश
इस श्लोक में प्राण की अवधारणा को समझाया गया है जो अलग-अलग रूपों में परिवर्तित होता है जैसे अपान, व्यान, उदान और समान। ये रूप कार्यों और भिन्नताओं के कारण उत्पन्न होते हैं, जैसे सोना और पानी स्थिति के आधार पर भिन्न आकार लेते हैं। यह जीवन ऊर्जा के भीतर समायोजन और अंतर्निहित विविधीकरण पर प्रकाश डालता है, जो योगिक और वेदांत शिक्षाओं में शारीरिक और आध्यात्मिक ऊर्जा को समझने में महत्वपूर्ण है।

प्राणापानव्यानोदानसमाना भवत्यसौ प्राणः । स्वयमेव वृत्तिभेदाद्विकृतिभेदात्सुवर्णसलिलादिवत् ॥ ९५ ॥
Translation: The prāṇa becomes different forms like apāna, vyāna, udāna, and samāna by itself due to differences in function and variation, just as gold and water take different forms.
