evam - thus; praṇava - with the syllable oṁ; saṁyuktam - joined; prāṇam - the prāṇāyāma system of controlling the bodily airs; eva - indeed; samabhyaset - one should carefully practice; daśa-kṛtvaḥ - ten times; tri-savanam - at sunrise, noon and sunset; māsāt - one month; arvāk - after; jita - one will conquer; anilaḥ - the life air.

Being fixed in the oṁkāra, one should carefully practice the prāṇāyāma system ten times at each sunrise, noon and sunset. Thus, after one month one will have conquered the life air.
