हृदन्तरस्थानिष्पन्नघटवद्या स्थितिर्बहिः ।
द्वादशाङ्गुलपर्यन्ते नासाग्रसमसंमुखे ॥ १३ ॥

hṛdantarasthāniṣpannaghaṭavadyā sthitirbahiḥ |
dvādaśāṅgulaparyante nāsāgrasamasaṃmukhe || 13 ||

As the outer part of a pot planted in the earth appears to sight, so the apana breath stretching to the distance of twelve inches just opposite to the tip of the nose in the air on the out side, is perceptible to the yogi, and is called Kumbhaka by the learned.
