संक्रामति व्यहं सूर्ये शशिन्येव पुनस्यहम् ॥६८॥ वहेद्यावद् बृहत्पवं क्रमेणानेन मासतः।। कृष्णपक्षे पुनः सूर्योदयपूर्वमयं कमः ॥६६॥
त्रिभिविशेषकम् Meaning : On the first day of the bright half of the month one should observe the flowing of the breath at sunrise. First, it will flow in the left artery. This will last for three days. Then for other three days it will flow in the right, so on and so forth with the result that on the 13th, 14th, and 15th it will be again flowing in the left. That is to say it will end as it had begun. In the dark half, the process will be reverse, that is to say, on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, the breath will flow in the right and on 13th, 14th, 15th it will again flow in the right. This phenomenon does not last for the whole day, that is to say, if the breath at sunrise starts in the left, it does not continue like that for the whole day. On the contrary, the breath changes the artery every hour. It goes on like this for the whole day. In short, what is important is that the breath should flow in the same artery at sunset as it had begun to flow in a particular artery at sunrise in the bright half as well as the dark half.
