Yoga Sutra III- 40 -UDANA JAYAJ JALA PANKA KANTAKADISV ASANGA UTKRANTIS CA - By mastery over the udana nerve current (the upward vital air), one accomplishes levitation over water, swamps, thorns, etc. and can leave the body at will.Yoga Sutra III- 41 - SAMANA JAYAJ JVALANAM- By mastery over the samana nerve current (the equalizing vital air) comes radiance to surround the body.
For the above sutras there is only a commentary on Yoga Sutra III- 41 from "How to Know God - The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali" translated and commented on by Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood.
"This is the force which regulates the various functions of the vital energy (prana). One of the brother-disciples of Sri Ramakrishna actually had this power; and it is recorded that he once used it to light the path for Ramakrishna on a dark night. However, Ramakrishna later found it necessary to take the power away from him because it was making him dangerously egotistic."
