पायूपस्थे ऽपानम् । चक्षुःश्रोत्रे मुखनासिकाभ्यां प्राणः स्वयं प्रतिष्ठते । मध्ये तु समानः । एष ह्य् एतद् धुतम् अन्नं समं नयति । तस्माद् एताः सप्तार्चिषो भवन्ति

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The Apâna (the down-breathing) in the organs of excretion and generation; the Prâna himself dwells in eye and ear, passing through mouth and nose. In the middle is the Samâna (the on-breathing); it carries what has been sacrificed as food equally (over the body), and the seven lights proceed from it.
