7.23

第五阿那波那念觀中,初問,次解,後結成其義。解中有二,初略標;後廣釋。前中先解念,後釋所緣。阿那者此云持來,即是入息,波那者此云持去,即是出息。泰云:唐名持息,來持息去。

In the fifth [section], the contemplation of mindfulness of ānāpāna, it first asks, next explains, and finally concludes the meaning. In the explanation there are two parts: first, a brief indication; and later, an extensive explanation. In the former part, it first explains mindfulness, and later explains its cognitive object. Āna here means 'bringing in', which is the in-breath; pāna here means 'carrying away', which is the out-breath. Tai says: 'In the Tang language it is called bringing breath in and carrying breath out.'
