The Prana standing under the fire, inflames it slowly. The fire, inflamed by the air, separates the substance from the waste.

The Vyana air makes the essence go all over, and the waste, forced through the twelve gateways, is ejected from the body.

44. Ears, eyes, nostrils, tongue, teeth, navel, nails, anus, generative organs, head, trunk, hair--are called unclean places.

45. Thus the airs, having their power from the self, perform their own functions, affecting people, just as does the rising of the sun.

46. Now hear, O Bird, the two-fold nature of the body of man. One is Vyavaharika, and the second Paramarthika.

47-52. On the Vyavaharika there are thirty-five millions of hairs of the body, seven hundred thousands of hairs of the head, it is said, and twenty nails;

There are said to be thirty-two teeth usually, O son of Vinata; the flesh is said to be one thousand palas and blood one hundred palas;

Fat is ten palas; skin is seven palas, marrow is twelve palas; the "great blood" is three palas;

Seed is known to be two kudavas; ovum one kudava; and bones in the body are said to be three hundred and sixty;

The nadis, both dense and subtle, number tens of million; bile is fifty palas; phlegm is half of that;

The waste materials are not measurable, as they are constantly changing. The body which possesses these attributes is Vyavaharika.

53. All the worlds, mountains, continents, oceans, suns and planets are in the Paramarthika body.

54. In the Paramarthika body, there are six chakras in which are said to be located the attributes of the egg of Brahma.

55. I will tell you about these, which are the objects of meditation of Yogins. By pondering upon them one becomes the enjoyer of the nature of Vairaja.

56-59. Below the feet is called Atala; above the feet, Vitala; at the knees know it as Sutala; at the thighs Mahatala;

At the hips, Talatala; at the secret part Rasatala; at the loins Patala; these are declared to be the seven worlds:

Bhuloka, at the middle of the navel; above it the Bhuvarloka; in the heart, Svarloka; at the throat it should be known as Maharloka;

Janaloka, in the region of the mouth; Tapolaka, at the forehead; Satyaloka in the Brahmarandhra--these are the fourteen worlds.

60-61. Meru is situated in the triangle ; Mandara is in the inverted triangle; Kailas'a is in the right triangle; Himachala, in the left triangle.

Nisada is in the upper lines Gandhamadana in the lines on the right; Ramana in the lines on the left;--the seven great mountains.

62-65. Jambu is in the place of the bones; Saka is situated in the marrow; the Kus'a continent is situated in the flesh; the Krauncha continent in the nerves;

The S'almali continent is in the skin; Gomeda, in the mass of hair; Puskara, in the place of the nails;--and next the oceans:
