Where it sits
The line names the breath's even movement and the seeing that matches it. 3.44 asks what the left, the right, and the central channel still amount to.
Split: prāṇasamācāre (प्राणसमाचारे) + samadarśanam (समदर्शनम्)
Sanskrit, in depth
The words
| Word | Grammar | Sense |
|---|---|---|
| prāṇasamācāre (प्राणसमाचारे) | locative singular, masculine | when breath moves evenly. prāṇa (प्राण) is the forward breath. samācāra (समाचार) is even conduct, a moving that is level. |
| samadarśanam (समदर्शनम्) | nominative singular, neuter | even seeing. sama (सम) is even, the same. darśana (दर्शन) is seeing. |
The phrases
When breath moves on the level, seeing is even.
Sanskrit in this line
Locative e (ए), then a neuter nominative. sama (सम) is in both compounds.
Say it back
Say what is even in the locative, and what is even in the nominative.
