ʰṇaܲԲ (प्राणवायुन्यास) refers to the “ceremony of invoking all the vital airs� (performed during پṣṭ or “sanctification ceremonies�), as discussed in chapter 7 of the վṣṇܳپ첹ṃh: a Pāñcarātra text comprising 3500 Sanskrit verses covering the typically �agamic� subjects which are being narrated by Brahmā to a number of sages.—[Cf. chapter 7]: [...] The orderly exposition of the پṣṭ-ceremonies is all but sacrificed to the rehearsal of miscellaneous details to be seen to in the execution of sanctification procedures: [...] Preparation for prāṇaپṣṭ-homa is done by invoking all the vital airs [ṇaܲԲ] (322-330), and this homa is done in order to make the vitality of the icon wax as the homa fire itself intensifies with the various offerings and accompanying meditations (the ṣoḍaśԲ�331-445).
