Verse 5.78.21

ओंकारोच्चारणप्रान्तशब्दतत्त्वानुभावनात् ।
सुषुप्ते संविदो जाते प्राणस्पन्दो निरुद्ध्यते ॥ २१ ॥

oṃkāroccāraṇaprāntaśabdatattvānubhāvanāt |
suṣupte saṃvido jāte prāṇaspando niruddhyate || 21 ||

The utterance of the syllable om, and pondering upon the significations of that word, and dormancy of the perceptive senses, are means of the suppression of breath.
