Having thus described the jñānendriyas which spring respectively from the five elements of predominantly sattva nature, and the karmendriyās which spring from the same source and are predominantly of rajas nature and also the antahkarana which is effectuated by them, predominantly sättvik in their combination now prāna is explained which effectuates the sūkşma sarira compacted of the five elements endowed with rajoguņa.

By its differences of actions and modifications, like gold and water, the breath by itself becomes prāņa, apāna, vyāna, udāna and samāna.
The same gold by reason of its modifications becomes many ornaments as bangles, earrings, etc. The same water is known by the differences of its form as river, pool, and tank. Similarly the breath that permeates inside the body is known as prāņa, apāna, vyāna, udāna and samāna according to its actions of prāņana, apānana, vyānana, udānana and samānana.
In the śloka the expression svarṇasalilam is to be understood as suvarnasahitam salilam, i.e., suvarna and salilam. Each of these is to be understood as a separate example.
Even as the same piece of gold is differently named by reason of its modifications, as the same water by its modifications is called wave, foam, bubble etc., so here too in the case of the breath.
