राक्षसेन्द्रा गिरिनिभाः शरशक्त्यृष्टितोमरैः ।
निरुच्छ्वासं हरिं चक्रुः प्राणायाम इव द्विजम् ॥

Those mounted on cars (assailed him) with their cars, and those mounted on the backs of elephants (assailed him) with their elephants, and those riding horses (assailed him) with their horses, and the foot-soldiers attacked him, stationed in the sky; and the foremost of Rākşasas resembling mountains, by means of darts, rstis and tomaras, suspended the respiration of Hari even as the prāņāyāma* does that of a twice-born one. *The practice of regulation respiration and finally suspending the same. This is practised by the Yogis of India, who attribute wonderful virtues to it.
