Warding off external contacts; keeping the sense of sight between the two wandering ones; counterbalancing both the forward and backward moving forces that travel within what is crooked;
Excluding external objects, his gaze fixed between the eyebrows, the inward and outward breathings passing equally through his nostrils;
Shutting off outward contacts, fixing the gaze between the eye-brows, equalising inward and outward breaths moving in the nostrils;

He who is ever is verily free.
Shutting out (all) external contacts and fixing the gaze between the eyebrows, equalising the outgoing and incoming breaths moving within the nostrils,
