VĀYU

Vayu: Wind, air (as one of the five elements); breathing, breath. A mystical name of the letter ya. In medicine, the windy humor. In yoga, refers to prana, apana, samana, udana, vyana. In astronomy, the name of the fourth muhurta (a moment, forty-eight minutes, the thirtieth part of a day). The god of the wind, said to have sprung from the breath of purusa; he is said to move in a shining car drawn by a pair of red or purple horses or by several teams consisting of ninety-nine or a hundred or even a thousand horses; he is often made to occupy the same chariot with Indra and, in conjunction with him, honored with the first draught of the soma libation. Vayu is rarely connected with the maruts, although he is said to have begotten them from the rivers of heaven. Desirous, covetous, greedy, desirable, desired by the appetite.
