तावती एव अहोरात्रे प्राणसङ्ख्या इति न षष्ट्यब्दोदयात् अधिकं परीक्ष्यते आनन्त्यात्

Transliteration (IAST)

tāvatī eva ahorātre prāṇasaṅkhyā iti na ṣaṣṭyabdodayāt adhikaṃ parīkṣyate ānantyāt

— just that much ; — in a day-and-night ; — the number of breaths ; — beyond the arising of sixty years ; — more, in excess ; — is examined ; — because of (its) infinitude

Just that much is the number of breaths in a day-and-night; hence nothing beyond the arising of sixty years is examined, because (the rest) is endless.
