Of what avail is learning to Him who is perfect and the supreme soul? At the beginning of the Kalpa, all the Vedas were given by 艢iva to Vi峁ａ箛u in the form of breath [i.e., 耻肠肠丑惫腻蝉补-谤奴辫补]. Who can be a good lord equal to Him? How can He be measured in age, He who is primordial to everything and everyone. Even primordial nature (Prak峁泃i) is born of Him. Of what avail is then Energy to Him? [...]鈥�.

[...] Remaining in absorption for the [following] times; moments, breaths, Palas, N膩岣嵞玸, Praharas, days, months and years, [the Yogin] then goes to the highest reality. A breath consists of an inspiration and expiration (耻肠肠丑惫腻蝉补). A palas is regarded as six breaths. A 驳丑补峁璱办腻 corresponds in time to sixty palas. [...]鈥�.

The commentary of Si峁僪abh奴p膩la (on the Sa峁単墨taratn膩kara) says that the ten-fold classification of breathing techniques [e.g., 耻肠肠丑惫腻蝉补] are the opinion of Kohala.
