- Frawley anchors the breath<->time<->Sun reciprocal-measure doctrine of his 'science of time' explicitly in Maitri (Maitrayaniya) Upanishad VI.1, which he quotes verbatim: the Self is twofold as Prana (inner Self) and Sun (outer Self), each measuring the other. The concept entity is doctrinally derived from this located root verse, Frawley the conduit.
