Śaṅkarācārya's commentary

Wisdom-kindled: kindled by discriminative wisdom, as a lamp is kindled by oil. The functions of prāṇa, the vital air in the individual's body, are expansion, contraction, etc. The functions of the senses and of the vital air are completely dissolved while the Yogin concentrates the mind on the Self.
