The subtler aspect of slokas in Ayurveda are neglected in present-day Ayurvedic teaching. One such sloka which is explained in vague by most teachers is the sloka explaining the physiology of respiration by Acharya Sharangadhara. The meaning of the sloka is understood in a vague literal manner and this leads to discrepancies. Due to such dilution, we fail to understand the actual depth of such slokas.
For instance, in the above-mentioned sloka, when we take the literal meaning, it gives a wrong understanding that breath that is present in the abdomen is exhaled out through the lotus-shaped heart and throat. Any individual with common sense can realise that this is not true. Thus we need to suspect that such explanations are wrong and that there lies a deeper hidden meaning.
Acharya Sharangadhara, has wisely structured the sloka after understanding the biophysical energy dynamics between the individual and the environment. This can be better understood by us, by correlating it with the concepts from Siddha, Yoga, Chinese medicine and contemporary physiology.
We study the detailed explanation of this correlation in this video.
