O mukhyaprana! when this body is exited by you, indeed the rest of the devatas who reside in the same body also stop lording (presiding over the respective parts).

O Lord! if you stop protecting (us), indeed the rest of the devatas such as brahma, shiva, garuda, kama and others become indifferent towards us.

All the shrutis declare in complete harmony that the whole breath (breathing process) of the entire mankind is under your control.

You, who are the Lord of the entire jIvas, please take care of me, your servant, out of compassion.
