nadi is always the best and foretells accomplishment of the work as also of emancipation.
वामैवाभ्युदयादीष्ट-शस्तकार्येषु सम्मता।
दक्षिणा तु रताहार-युद्धादौ दीप्तकर्मणि ॥६४॥ Meaning : When the breath is flowing in the left nostril, one should do good and praiseworthy deeds; but if it is flowing in the right, enjoyment of sex, eating, waging a war, etc. should be undertaken.
वामा शस्तोदये पक्षे सिते कृष्णे तु दक्षिणा ।
त्रीणि त्रीणि दिनानेन्दु-सूर्ययोरुदयः शुभः ॥६५॥ Meaning : If the breath in the left artery is in full flow during the bright half of the month at the sunrise, it is considered best. If the breath in the right artery is in operation during the dark half of the month at the sun rise, it also is best. If the full flow of both of them continues for three days consecutively one by one, then also it is excellent.
शशांकेनोदये वायोः सूर्येणास्तं शुभावहम् । उदये रविणा त्वस्य शशिनास्तं शिवं मतम् ॥६६॥
Meaning : If at the sunrise, the breath in the left artery is flowing and at the sunset if it is flowing in the right, it augurs for the good or happiness and the reverse is also equally good. That is to say, if the breath in the right is flowing at sunrise and at sunset if it is flowing in the left, it is equally excellent.
सितपक्षे दिनारम्भे यत्नतः प्रतिपदिने । वायोर्वीक्षेत सञ्चारं प्रशस्तमितरं तथा ॥६७।।
