8. The sun, verily, rises externally as life; for it is that which helps the life-breath in the eye. The divinity which is in the earth supports a person's out-breath (_apāna_). What is between [the sun and the earth], namely space (_ākāśa_), is the equalizing breath (_samāna_). The wind (Vāyu) is the diffused breath (_vyāna_).
