TRANSLATION
The meditative devotee should push up the life air from the navel to
the heart, from there to the chest and from there to the root of the palate,
slowly, and search out the proper places with intelligence.
PURPORT
There are six circles of the movement of the life air, and the intelligent
bhakti-yogi should search out the places with intelligence and in a
meditative mood. Among these, mentioned above is the svadhisthana-
cakra, or the powerhouse of the life air, and above this, just below the
abdomen navel, there is the manipiiraka-cakra. When upper space is further
searched out in the heart, it is called the anadhata-cakra, and further up,
when it is placed at the root of the palate, it is called the visuddhi-cakra.
