Verse 6.25.31

अस्तंगतिरथाम्भोजमध्ये हृदयसंस्थिते ।
प्राणो यत्र समायाति द्वादशान्ते नभःपदे ॥ ३१ ॥

astaṃgatirathāmbhojamadhye hṛdayasaṃsthite |
prāṇo yatra samāyāti dvādaśānte nabhaḥpade || 31 ||

As the prana respiration is exhaled out in the air, to the distance of twelve inches from the heart, so the inhaled air of apana is taken into the breast, from the same distance of the open sky.
