According to the Brahmanda Purana, the name of the "wind" transporting the Ganga of the "sky" – the deoxygenated pulmonary flow originating from the heart (pulmonary trunk) and arriving into the lungs from the "outer space" of the mediastinum and traveling to the respiratory zone by means of the pulmonary arterial conduit and its branches – is "parivaha." Further, this "wind" is the (physiological) support of Parjanya and the dik gajas:
The sixth wind [conduit of circulation] named Parivaha is their support. This powerful (wind) holds up the Ganga of the firmament [...] The Ganga is situated in the path of Sviti (i.e. firmament) in three currents.
