504 [**Prajñāpanā Sūtra** Those who are healthy and happy or yogis who practice **prāṇāyāma** breathe for a long time, but the unhealthy and unhappy or those who indulge in pleasures breathe quickly. / In the realm of gods, the secret of long intervals between inhalation and exhalation is that the longer the lifespan of a god, the happier they are, and the longer their lifespan, the longer the interval between their inhalation and exhalation. This is because the act of breathing is a form of suffering. Therefore, as the lifespan of gods increases like an ocean, the intervals between their breaths also increase. / / **Prajñāpanā Sūtra**: Seventh **Ucchvāsa** section ends / / **Sūkhī** 1. **Prajñāpanā Sūtra** M.
