नाडीसंहार-भूतजय भूतकैवल्य भूतपृथक्त्वानि // ३.५ //
nāḍīsaṁhāra-bhūtajaya bhūtakaivalya bhūtapṛthaktavāni // 3.5
//
nāḍīsaṁhāra: absorption of the movement of breath, or dissolution of the prana flowing in the channel; bhūta-jaya: power or victory over the elements; bhūtakaivalya: withdrawal from all objective senses or elements and experiencing aloneness; bhūta-pṛthaktavāni: by separating consciousness from the elementary field
Translation
The merging or absorption of the movements of breathing [naḍi saṃhāra], achieving power over the gross elements from the earth to the ether [bhuta- jaya], diverting attention of the mind from all objective senses and directing it towards the center of the movement of the breath, and taking and separating your Consciousness from the grip of the elementary field.
