He should search out the proper places with intelligence.** ## Purport There are six circles of the movement of the life air, and the intelligent *bhakti-yogī* should search out these places with intelligence and in a meditative mood. Among these, mentioned above is the *svādhiṣṭhāna-cakra,* or the powerhouse of the life air, and above this, just below the abdomen and navel, is the *maṇi-pūraka-cakra.* When upper space is further searched out in the heart, one reaches the *anāhata-cakra,* and further up, when the life air is placed at the root of the palate, one reaches the *viśuddhi-cakra.*
