Knowledge of the Time of Death from Air
The fifth light of Yoga Shastra, verses 103 to 112, further explain this.565. If the wind flows continuously through one nostril for sixteen days, then out of 360 days, one twelve less, i.e., 360-12=348 days, he will live. ||103|| Meaning: If the wind flows continuously through one nostril for sixteen days, then out of 360 days, one twelve less, i.e., 360-12=348 days, he will live. ||103|| 566. If the wind flows through one nostril for seventeen days, then death will occur in 348 days minus two twelves, i.e., 348-24=324 days. ||104|| Meaning: If the wind flows through one nostril for seventeen days, then death will occur in 348 days minus two twelves, i.e., 348-24=324 days. ||104|| Thus 1567. If the wind flows for eighteen days, then death will occur in 324 days minus three twelves, i.e., 324-36=288 days. ||105|| Meaning: If the wind flows for eighteen days, then death will occur in 324 days minus three twelves, i.e., 324-36=288 days. ||105|| Thus 1568. If the wind flows for nineteen days, then death will occur in 288 days minus four twelves, i.e., 288-48=240 days. ||106|| Meaning: If the wind flows for nineteen days, then death will occur in 288 days minus four twelves, i.e., 288-48=240 days. ||106|| 1569. If the wind flows through one nostril for twenty days, then death will occur in 240 days minus five twelves, i.e., 240-60=180 days, without a doubt. ||107|| Meaning: If the wind flows through one nostril for twenty days, then death will occur in 240 days minus five twelves, i.e., 240-60=180 days, without a doubt. ||107|| ||570. From one, two, three, four, five, six days, the decrease should be in the order of one, two, three, four, and five sixes. From twenty-one to twenty-five days, these should be subtracted accordingly. ||108|| Meaning: If the wind flows through the Surya Nadi for twenty-one to twenty-five days, then from the aforementioned 180 days, one, two, three, four, and five sixes should be subtracted accordingly. ||108|| This is explained 1571. If the wind flows through the Surya Nadi for twenty-one days, then death will occur in 180 days minus one six, i.e., 180-6=174 days. ||109|| Meaning: If the wind flows through the Surya Nadi for twenty-one days, then death will occur in 180 days minus one six, i.e., 180-6=174 days. ||109|| 572. If the wind flows for twenty-two days, then he will live for 174 days minus two sixes, i.e., 162 days. If the wind flows for twenty-three days, then death will occur in 162 days minus three sixes, i.e., 162-18=144 days, which is six days less than five months. ||110|| Meaning: If the wind flows for twenty-two days, then he will live for 174 days minus two sixes, i.e., 162 days. If the wind flows for twenty-three days, then death will occur in 162 days minus three sixes, i.e., 162-18=144 days, which is six days less than five months. ||110|| Thus 573. If the wind flows for twenty-four days, then death will occur in 144 days minus four sixes, i.e., 144-24=120 days. ||111|| Meaning: If the wind flows for twenty-four days, then death will occur in 144 days minus four sixes, i.e., 144-24=120 days. ||111|| 574. If the wind flows for twenty-five days, then death will occur in 120 days minus five sixes, i.e., 120-30=90 days (three months). If the wind flows for twenty-six days, then death will occur in two months. ||112|| Meaning: If the wind flows for twenty-five days, then death will occur in 120 days minus five sixes, i.e., 120-30=90 days (three months). If the wind flows for twenty-six days, then death will occur in two months. ||112|| Thus
