Meaning
The commentary: the movement by which breathing and the rest go on is the wind in it, the prāṇa, apāna and the others; its strivings are the organs of action. Imagining in this way outer objects and inner ones, the very subtle jīva, with a body made of mind, stands in space, as the next verse says. The participle "imagining", bhāvayan, belongs to the conveying body of the next verse.
