The line
He should empty the wind in due measure, fill it in due measure, and bind it in due measure. So he obtains success.
नेपालीमा
उसले वायु उचित मात्रामा खाली गर्नुपर्छ, उचित मात्रामा भर्नुपर्छ र उचित मात्रामा बाँध्नुपर्छ। यसरी उसले सिद्धि पाउँछ।
Where it sits
Yuktaṃ yuktaṃ (युक्तं युक्तं) is the measure, repeated for emptying, filling, and binding. These three are named as the three of prāṇāyāma (प्राणायाम) at 2.71.
