Commentaries around

“Within the Prāṇa Kṣetra the
qualities and potentials of the
Pañca Prāṇa, or five vital airs,
are uniquely independent and
yet co-dependently interlinked.
In that what affects the
purpose of one of them will
impact on the quality, efficacy
and function on one or more of
the others in the Pañca Prāṇa.”
