Ānāpāna (neuter) [āna + apāna, compounds of an to breathe] in haled and exhaled breath, inspiration and respiration S V 132, {101} 311 f.; Ja I 58; Paṭis I 162 (-kathā); usually in compound °sati concentration by in-breathing and out-breathing (cf. Manual of a Manual of a Mystic 70) M I 425 (cf. D II 291); III 82; Vin III 70; A I 30; It 80; Paṭis I 166, 172, 185 (-samādhi); Nidd II §466 B (the same); Miln 332; Vism 111, 197, 266 f.; Pj II 165. See detail under sati. [apnia]
ānāpāna (= Pali id. ), breath (see below): °na-bhāvanā-vidhiḥ Mvy 1165 ; °na-smṛti (= Pali °na-sati), mindfulness [Page096-b] of breathing , Mvy 1166 ; Bbh 110.24 ; 204.26 ; 396.22 ; Ud xv.1 ; °nānusmṛti, id. , ŚsP 60.8 ; on this and ŚsP 1443.8 (where text ānāpā-nusmṛtir) see s.v. anusmṛti . The word is an old dvandva; āna (= prāṇa) plus apāna ( cf. Skt. prāṇāpāna, on which see G.W. Brown, JAOS 39.104 ff. ). In Pali commentarial diction replaced by assāsa-passāsa (= āśvāsa-praśvāsa , q.v. ). Tib. on Mvy 1166 ānāpāna (-smṛtiḥ) renders dbugs rṅub pa daṅ ḥbyuṅ ba , breathing in and out ; the same or related terms are used for āśvāsa and praśvāsa. It is clear that Tib. understands āna = āśvāsa as inbreathing , apāna = praśvāsa as outbreathing . There is BHS evidence supporting this interpretation of āśvāsa-praśvāsa , q.v.
