Meaning: In this manner, one should come to know the coming hour of end through the practice of exhalation and inhalation as also through external means, like the mystical diagram etc.
को जेष्यति द्वयोर्यद्धे इति पृच्छत्यवस्थितः । जय : पूर्वस्य पूर्णे स्याद्रिक्ते स्यादितरस्य तु ॥ २२५ ॥
Meaning: When a question, "Which of the two will conquer ?”, is asked the reply is the person whose name is first taken will conquer if there is a puraka and if there is rechaka, the person whose name is taken second will conquer.

Meaning: That is called Rikta which is thrown out when it is inhaled and that is called Purna which is entering inside.
