बाह्याभ्यन्तरविषयाक्षेपी चतुर्थः
bahyabhyantara visayaksepi chaturthah
The fourth (kind of pranayama) is transcending internal and external objects.
Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 2.51
bahya = external
abhyantara = internal
vishaya = object
akshepi = transcending
chaturthah = the fourth
Birds seem to be a bit like this in the way they are part of the external (a flock) and the internal (the individual bird).
