Verse 4.29
Verse 4.29: “Others, again, into the Inhalation sacrifice the Exhalation, or into the Exhalation the Inhalation, having first restrained the motions (respectively) of the Exhalation and the Inhalation, with the ultimate object of (acquiring) control over (all) the Vital Airs. (144)
Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:
Some others devoted to the art of Yoga, sacrifice ingoing breath into the fire of outgoing breath; others adopt the reverse process, while there are some who bring under complete control both the ways (upward and downward) of vital breath. These are called Life-breath controllers. (prāṇāyāmī).
