As the spokes in the hub of a wheel, thus gathered are the nāḍīs where that (Self) moves internally in multiple ways, being born. Meditate thus upon the Self with Om. Hail to you, toward the other shore beyond darkness.

The metaphor of the subtle body: the nāḍīs as channels of vital energy.

Arāḥ — the spokes. Multiple, divergent, but united in a center.

Ratha-nābhi — the hub of a wheel. The center where all spokes converge.

Nāḍyaḥ — subtle-energy channels. The system of vital circulation in the body.

Sa eṣaḥ antaḥ carate — that moves internally. The prāṇa, vital energy.

Bahudhā jāyamānaḥ — being born in multiple ways. The various forms of vital expression.

Om iti evaṃ dhyāyatha — meditate thus with Om. The mantra as vehicle of contemplation.

Svasti vaḥ — hail to you. Blessing of well-being.

Pārāya tamasas parastāt — toward the other shore, beyond darkness. Liberation as crossing.

Prāṇāyāma and meditation work with these nāḍīs toward the center.
