Respected Esteemed Scholars,

I am looking for references to 5 Prana vayus like prana, samana, udana etc. and 5 upa pranas like naga, kurma etc.  from ancient texts. I am looking for its location and role with a physiological viewpoint. I have also learned that certain texts have mentioned 49 prana vayus. 

It will be of great help if I get the reference texts for the same. 

Many thanks,

Chandogya Upanishad has detailed discussion about प्राण अपान  समान व्यान  उदान 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The functions of Upavayu are mentioned in Trishikha Brahmana Upanishad (86-87); Yoga Yajnavalkya (Chapter IV 64-72) and in Vedantasara.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sandilya Upanishad also deals with Upapranas
