Subject: [world-vedic] Vedic Anatomy Measurements

This body of Vayu is 96 digits (6 feet) in length as a standard. The 
ordinary length of the air-current, when exhaled is 12 digits (9 
inches). In singing, its length becomes 16 digits (1 foot), in eating 
it comes to 20 digits (15 inches), in sleeping 30 digits (22 1/2 
inches), in copulation 36 digits (27 inches) and in doing physical 
exercise it is much more than that. By decreasing the natural length 
of the expirer air-currents (from 9 inches), life is prolonged and by 
increasing the current, duration of life is decreased.
