Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that yogic practice is fundamentally prāṇa-centered (called ‘Rudra’ here), and that mastery over prāṇa is the key to mastery over oneself; extraordinary capacities are presented as consequences of inner control rather than as the primary goal.
In the Śānti Parva’s instructional setting, the sage Yājñavalkya addresses a king, praising prāṇa-dominant yogas and describing the traditional claim that yogins who control prāṇa can roam freely in all ten directions while still embodied.
