Abstract

Pranayama means a pause in the movement of breath. In the Sutras the word Prana arises by itself only once and the wording of Sutras is so clear that by no stretch of belief can the word Prana there be taken to pass on to anything aspect breath. In addition to this the word Prana occurs twice in the sutras every time being multifaceted with the word Ayama. Here again the wording of the original author, Patanjali is very understandable. He positively refers to respiratory moments. The most important commentators Patanjali’s Sutras have invariable explained Prana to mean breath.
