"navel", "center", "house", "source"

Nabhi is the navel, the center of one's physical body and vital forces. According to "Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati", Nabhi is the area of localization of the nabhi-chakra (manipura). In this part of body Gorakshanath recommends to observe Kundalini folded into the fivefold ring (madhyama-shakti). Five rings are five tattvas: Sadashiva, Ishvara, Rudra, Vishnu and Brahma, they control all manifestations in the universe and are connected with the five coils of Kundalini.

Here is located samana-vayu, which balances prana and apana.
