TRANSLATION

[The inhabitants of Sakadvipa worship the Supreme Personality
of Godhead in the form of Vayu in the following words.] O
Supreme Person, situated as the Supersoul within the body, You
direct the various actions of the different airs, such as prana, and
thus You maintain all living entities. O Lord, O Supersoul of
everyone, O controller of the cosmic manifestation under whom
everything exists, may You protect us from all dangers.

PURPORT

Through the mystic yoga practice called pranayama, the yogi controls
the airs within the body to maintain the body in a healthy condition. In
this way, the yogi comes to the point of trance and tries to see the Super-
soul within the core of his heart. Prdnaydma is the means to attain
samadhi, trance, in order to fully absorb oneself in seeing the Supreme
Lord as antraydmi, the Supersoul within the core of the heart.
