संधिष्वपि च सर्वेषु संनिविष्टस्तथानिल: । शरीरेषु मनुष्याणां व्यान इत्युपदिश्यते,जो मनुष्योंके शरीरोंमें और उनकी समस्त संधियोंमें भी व्याप्त है, उस वायुको “व्यान' कहते हैं
sandhiṣv api ca sarveṣu sanniviṣṭas tathānilaḥ | śarīreṣu manuṣyāṇāṃ vyāna ity upadiśyate ||
જે વાયુ મનુષ્યોના દેહોમાં અને તેમની સર્વ સંધિઓમાં પણ વ્યાપ્ત થઈ સ્થિત છે, તેને ‘વ્યાન’ એમ ઉપદેશવામાં આવ્યું છે.

Educational Q&A
The verse defines Vyāna as the vital wind that pervades the entire human body, including all the joints, emphasizing an all-spreading life-force that supports bodily cohesion and circulation.
In Śānti Parva’s instructional discourse, Bharadvāja is explaining the functions and names of the internal vital airs (vāyus/prāṇas), identifying which one is called Vyāna by its characteristic pervasion through the body and joints.
