vyāno hṛdi sthito nityaṃ tathā dehacaropi ca | dhātuvṛddhipradaḥ svedalālonmeṣanimeṣakṛt
Vyāna habita sempre no coração e, ainda assim, percorre todo o corpo. Ele promove o crescimento dos dhātu (constituintes corporais) e produz suor, saliva e o abrir e fechar dos olhos.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced for Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration)
Scene: A luminous heart-lotus at center with vyāna radiating as fine silver threads throughout limbs; small motifs for sweat droplets, saliva at lips, and eyelids opening/closing—symbolic, not clinical.
