न तिथिर्न च नक्षत्रं न वारो ग्रहदेवता ।
न च विष्टिर्व्यतोपातो वैधृत्याद्यास्तथैव च ॥ २९ ॥
 
There is no obstruction of Tithi ( days of the lunar fort-
night ), asterisms, week days, planets, Deity, Bhadrā ( name
of the second, seventh and twelfth day of a lunar fortnight ),
Vyatīpāta ( a portent foreboding a great calamity ), or un-
steadiness of conditions (i. e. this science can be practised
at any time and in any condition ).
 
कुयोगो नास्त्यतो देवि भविता वा कदाचन ।
 
प्राप्ते स्वरबले शुद्धे सर्वमेव शुभं फलम् ॥ ३० ॥
 
Neither there ever had been nor there ever would be an
inauspicious moment for it. When the pure strength of the
Svaras is available all results are auspicious.
 
देहमध्ये स्थिता नाड्यो बहुरूपाः सुविस्तरात् ।
ज्ञातव्याश्च बुधैर्नित्यं स्वदेहज्ञानहेतवः ॥ ३१ ॥
 
There are numerous Nãdis of different sizes in the body
and they should be known by the erudites for the knowledge
about their own bodies.
 
नाभिस्थानगकंदोर्ध्वमंकुराइव
 
निर्गताः ।
 
द्विसप्ततिसहस्राणी देहमध्ये व्यवस्थिताः ॥ ३२ ॥
 
Originating like sprouts from the root situated a little
above the navel, there are 72,000 Nādis in the body.
 
नाड।स्था कुण्डलीशक्तिभुजङ्गाकारशायिनी ।
 
ततो दशोवंगा नाड्योदशैवाधः प्रतिष्ठिताः ॥ ३३ ॥
द्वे द्वे तिर्यग्गते नाट्यौ चतुर्विंशतिसंख्यया ।
 
प्रधाना दश नाट्यस्तु दश वायुप्रवाहकाः ॥ ३४ ॥
 
In the Nācīs sleeps the Serpent-like Kundalini Śakti. Ten
Nadis go upwards from the root-point and ten also down-
wards in the body. Two Nidīs each go in oblique directions
which thus make twentyfour in all. Out of these ten are the
main Nacīs which provide the flow of Wind in the body.
 
तिर्यगूर्ध्वास्तथा नाड्यो वायुदेहसमन्विताः ।
चक्रवत्संस्थिता देहे सर्वाः प्राणसमाश्रिताः ॥ ३५ ॥
