“Hot moisture is excited in the hody; it is set in motion by a strong vital air; blazing without fuel it pierces the sites of the vital organs. And then the vital air, called Udāna, passes upwards, impeding the downward course of the water and food consumed.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
