Adhyaya 73 — त्रिपुरदाहे ब्रह्मस्तवः

Brahmā’s Hymn in the Context of Tripura’s Burning

Devanagari script

प्राणायामैः समायुक्तैः पञ्चभिः सुरपुङ्गवाः चतुर्भिः प्रणवैश्चैव प्राणायामपरायणैः

Transliteration

prāṇāyāmaiḥ samāyuktaiḥ pañcabhiḥ surapuṅgavāḥ caturbhiḥ praṇavaiścaiva prāṇāyāmaparāyaṇaiḥ

Translation

Ó excelso entre os deuses, deve-se empenhar corretamente em cinco prāṇāyāmas regulados e, do mesmo modo, em quatro recitações do Praṇava (Oṁ), permanecendo totalmente devotado ao prāṇāyāma. Por tal disciplina ióguica, o paśu (alma presa) é refinado, o pāśa (laço) enfraquece, e cultiva-se a aptidão para a graça de Pati (Śiva).
