## Vedha-Vidhi, Parakaya Pravesha Vidhi - and Conclusion
**Yoga Shastra Pancham Prakash Shloka 260 to 271**
**Shloka 260:**
**Meaning:** A wise person skilled in the practice of Nadi-Shuddhi can, at will, transfer the air from one nostril (Nadi) to the other instantly.
**Shloka 261:**
**Meaning:** The air remains in one nostril for two and a half ghatikas (one hour) and then moves to the other nostril. This is how the change occurs. In a healthy person, there are 21,600 breaths (Pranavayu) in a day and night.
**Shloka 262:**
**Meaning:** Those who do not understand the flow of air are not qualified to make judgments about the truth.
**Shloka 263:**
**Meaning:** How can a person with a dull mind, who doesn't even understand the flow of air, talk about the truth? Knowing the flow of air is essential for understanding the truth.
**Shloka 264:**
**Meaning:** When the air is inhaled through the Puraka Kriya, the heart lotus (Hridya Padma) turns downwards and contracts. When Kumbhaka is performed in the same heart lotus, it expands and turns upwards.
**Shloka 265:**
**Meaning:** Then, through the Rechaka Kriya, draw the air from the heart lotus. Do not exhale this air; instead, make it flow upwards, breaking through the knot in the path, and bring it to the Brahma Randhra.
**Shloka 266:**
**Meaning:** With curiosity, the yogi should exhale this air from the Brahma Randhra and, with focus, slowly direct it towards the cotton wool of the Ak plant.
**Shloka 267:**
**Meaning:** Practice this repeatedly on the cotton wool of the Ak plant. When you become proficient in bringing the air to the Brahma Randhra and then to the cotton wool, you should, with steady focus, direct the air towards the flowers of the Malati and Chameli plants.
**Shloka 268:**
**Meaning:** When your practice becomes strong and the Varuna Vayu is flowing, you should direct the air towards fragrant substances like camphor, agarwood, and kustha.
**Shloka 269:**
**Meaning:** When you have mastered directing the air towards these substances, you should, with skill in controlling the air, direct it towards the bodies of small birds.
**Shloka 270:**
**Meaning:** With practice, you should direct the air towards the bodies of butterflies, bees, and animals, with a focused mind and controlled senses.
**Shloka 271:**
**Meaning:** You should practice directing the air towards the bodies of humans, horses, and birds, and then towards objects like books and stones, in a gradual manner.
