Sanskrit: पायूपस्थेऽपानं चक्षुःश्रोत्रे मुखनासिकाभ्यां प्राणः स्वयंप्रातिष्ठते मध्ये तु समानः । ष ह्येतद्धुतमन्नं समं नयतितस्मादेताः सप्तार्चिषो भवन्ति  
English:  5  Prana engages apana in the organs of excretion and generation; he himself moves through the mouth and nose and dwells in the eye and ear. In the middle is samana; it distributes equally what has been offered as food in the fire in the stomach. From this prana fire arise the seven flames.
