Ecerpts from chapter II.iii

शतं चैका च हृदयस्य नाड्यस्तासां मूर्धनमभिनिःसृतैका ।
तयोर्ध्वमायन्नमृतत्वमेति
विष्वङ्ङन्या उत्क्रमणे भवन्ति ॥१६॥
śataṁ ca-ikā ca hṛdayasya nāḍyas-tāsāṁ mūrdhanam-abhiniḥsṛta-ikā |
tay-ordhvam-āyann-amṛtatvam-eti
viṣvaṅṅ-anyā utkramaṇe bhavanti ||16||
There are 101 energy channels (Nadis) of the heart existing.
One of them is directed to the skullcap. |
Through this one, reaching upwards, immortality (Amrita) can be achieved. All other channels are going to various directions - they are doors to death, exitus doorways. ||16||
