Method of knowing the Rise and Regin of the Elements
The bodies of all the creatures existing on this Earth to
Satyaloka are made up of these five elements. All these
elements rise and reign in fixed succession during the flow
of each Svara. This means that during the tenure of each
Svara all these five elements reign for a certain period. The
knowledge of this rise and reign of the respective Elements
can be obtained through the following methods :---( 1 ) Place
of the Svara in the Nostril; (2) Shape of the Svara; (3) Colour
of the Elements; (4) Taste of the Elements; (5) Length of the
Svaras; and (6) Place of the Elements in the body.
(i) Place of the Svara in the Nostril:--If the breathed Air is
passing through the central part of a nostril it is indicative of
the Earth-element; if through the lower part, of the Water-
element; if through the topmost part, of Fire-element; if
through the sides, of Air-element; and if it is flowing in a
rotating manner through the interior of the nostril it is Ether
(Äkāśa) element.
(ii) Shape of the Svara --When the Expired breath is thrown
on a mirror then if the moisture formation is square in shape
it is Earth-element; if like a half-moon it is Water element; if
triangular it is Fire-element; if round it is Air-element, and if
it is in the form of tiny drops or spots it is Ether-element.
(iii) Colour of the Elements :--In order to conquer death it
is proper for the Yogis to begin their daily routine only after
seeing with effort the sign of the reigning Element. A Yogi
