TRANSLATION
One should inhale through the right nostril and fill the abdomen with breath, exhale through the left nostril, and again one should inhale through the right nostril and hold and exhale through the left nostril. This is Dakshinaavarta
Chakra Kumbhaka. The reverse of this is called Vaamaavarta Chakra Kumbhaka by Lord Shiva.
