 | | As regards 'measure,' some texts say that rechaka and puraka should be equal in measure, and kumbhaka twice that measure, while other texts say that if rechaka is one measure, puraka should be of two measures, and kumbhaka of four. |
 | | By 'measure' what is meant is the time that would be taken for the utterance of the Gayatrimantra once. |
 | | Thus pranayama consisting of rechaka, puraka, and kumbhaka should be practised daily according to ability, slowly and gradually. |
