Translation

This prāṇa itself becomes known as prāṇa, apāna, vyāna, udāna, and samāna by virtue of different functions and forms, just as gold, water etc take different shapes.

Annotation

The function of prāṇa is to inhale and exhale. The excretions are pushed out by apāna. Distribution of food is by vyāna. Pushing up (such as vomiting) is by udāna and activation of the abdominal heat (jāṭharāgni) is by samāna (Jagadguru).
