The second of the five breaths: apāna, the prāṇa that moves downward and governs elimination.
There is nothing "low" in this list. The breath responsible for the most bodily of functions is named the same way as the others — "He whose essence is apāna" — and bowed to with the same words.
This agrees with the whole cast of the book. It described the abode through woods and cows, worship through milk and ghee, and the marks of yoga in the Śvetāśvatara included even the smallness of the bodily wastes. The bodily is nowhere separated here from the sacred.
The litany is arranged so that we bow in turn to the life-force within ourselves and to Him who moves it. Next will come samāna, udāna and vyāna, and between them the names: Pradyumna and Aniruddha, Rāma, the son of Devakī.
So the book's close turns out to be not an abstract summary but a list of obeisances that can be pronounced.
