“Ojas, whose ruling deity is the moon, produces strength and nourishment in the body. When it decreases by physical exertion, mental anxiety or the sexual act, the weakened state is called glāni or mlāni. In the state of glāni or languishing there is trembling, indecision, change of color, becoming thin and throwing glances here and there.”
