त्रीणि स्रोतांसि यान्यस्मिन्नाप्यायन्ते पुन: पुनः । प्रनाड्यस्तिस्र एवैता: प्रवर्तन्ते गुणात्मिका:
trīṇi srotāṃsi yāny asminn āpyāyante punaḥ punaḥ | praṇāḍyas tisra evaitāḥ pravartante guṇātmikāḥ ||
وایودیو نے کہا—“اس (باطن) میں تین دھارائیں ہیں جو بار بار بھر دی جاتی ہیں۔ گُنوں سے بنی یہی تین نادیاں ان دھاراؤں کو حرکت دیتی ہیں اور انہیں جاری رکھتی ہیں۔”

Educational Q&A

Vāyu-deva is explaining an inner, yogic-psychological model: within the person there are three ongoing ‘streams’ (currents of mind/being), and three guṇa-based nāḍīs (channels) repeatedly replenish and drive these currents.
