KANTHA KUPE KSHUT PIPASA NIVRUTIH
(BY CONCENTRATING ON PIT OF THE THROAT ) ONE GETS CONTROL OVER
THE HUNGER AND THE THIRST
The powers that one gets on concentrating at different places .one gets different powers. So in this Sutra we are told about the control of the hunger and the thirst. One needs the sensation of the hunger and the thirst to survive. If we do not feel hungry or thirsty, we will die. We breath and eat and drink . All these activities are related to throat. The throat has 7 different openings and it is compared to a well. These are 2 nostrils , 2 Eustachian tubes openings , one wind pipe and one food pipe and last one is called BRAHMARANDHRA ,(which connects to the base of the skull where the Pituitary gland rests) So this area is like railway junction, where number of things meet . The PRANAS are also 5 and APAN is to take in food and the water while UDAN is getting out . Again these things are to some extent related to throat area.
So when one gets control of this area, he attains power over the hunger and the thirst. The hunger and the thirst cause disturbance in the practice of meditation . So when when we have a control of theses faculties , we can concentrate better without being disturbed by the hunger or thirst.
