My favorite translation of III 45 goes like this: 3-45 Concentrating on the center within the nose, what use are the left and the right channels or suSumna? naasikaantarmadhyasaMyamaat kimatra savyaapasavyasauSumNeSu 3-45 Concentrating (saMyamaat: ~performing saMyama) on the center within the nose (naasikaa+antar-madhya), what use are (kim atra: what here?) the left (savya: iDaa?) and the right (apasavya: pin.galaa?) channels or suSumna (sauSumNeSu)? http://www.shaivam.org/ssshivasuutra.htm
