yaccittastenaeṣa prāṇamāyati। prāṇastejasā yuktaḥ sahātmanā yathāsaṅkalpitaṃ lokaṃ nayati। ya evaṃ vidvān prāṇaṃ veda na hāsya prajā hīyate'mṛtobhavati। tadeṣa ślokaḥ।
The mind directs 'prāṇa' i.e the life-breath, and when the life-breath is united with energy and the Ātman, it leads to the desired world as envisioned. A wise person who knows the life-breath ensures that his lineage does not diminish and attains immortality. This is the verse:
utpattimāyatiṃ sthānaṃ vibhutvaṃ caiva pañcadhā। adhyātmaṃ caiva prāṇasya vijñāyāmṛtamaśnute॥ vijñāyāmṛtamaśnut
"By understanding the origin, expansion, abode, pervasiveness, and the fivefold spiritual essence of the 'prāṇa' i.e. the life force, one achieves immortality."
iti ॥7॥
- thus ends the verse.
॥iti tṛtīyapraśnaḥ prativacanam॥
This marks the conclusion of the answer to the third question.
