First (prathamam), [one] should produce (dadyāt | 3p sg act opt) a hissing sound (sītkām | acc sg) with the mouth (mukhena | ins sg), and (ca) afterwards (anu) [bring about] an expansion [of breath] (vijṛmbhām | acc sg) through both nostrils (nāsā-puṭābhyām | ins du). Thus (iti), through the application of constant practice (nityābhyāsa-prayogāt | abl sg), a person (naraḥ | nom sg) becomes (bhavati | 3p sg act pres) a second (dvitīyaḥ | nom sg m) god of love (kāma-devaḥ | nom sg). Free from sleep, sluggishness, hunger and thirst (nidrālasya-kṣudhā-tṛṭ-rahitaḥ | nom sg m ppp), [he] may move (caret | 3p sg act opt) here (iha), worthy of reverence from the circle of Yoginīs (yoginī-cakra-sevyaḥ | nom sg m pfp). Bringing about dissolution (saṃhāra-kārī | nom sg m) of creation (sṛṣṭeḥ | gen sg), he (saḥ | nom sg m) always (sadā) moves (viharati | 3p sg act pres) upon the earth (pṛthivyām | loc sg), [with] no (na) affliction (upadravaḥ | nom sg).
The reference to the nostrils supports interpreting vijṛṃbhā as an outflow. I connect nominative upadravaḥ with a supplied verb: “no affliction [exists]”.
Return to the same sound as you practise. Notice whether you hear more detail over time or whether your attention wanders.

Haṭhatattvakaumudī 10.11
सुधास्रावि शिरारन्ध्रतालु स्पृष्ट्वामृतं मरुत् |
हिमो जिह्वाग्रयुक्शीतल्येव सीत्कार्य् अतो ऽरुजा ||11||
Metre: Anuṣṭubh
Having touched (spṛṣṭvā | abs) the nectar-secreting (sudhā-srāvi | acc sg n) palate at the opening of the vessels (śirā-randhra-tālu | acc sg), the cool (himaḥ | nom sg m) breath (marut | nom sg), joined to the tip of the tongue (jihvāgra-yuk | nom sg m), [is] nectar (amṛtam | nom sg). Therefore (ataḥ), Sītkārī (sītkārī | nom sg) [is] precisely (eva) Śītalī (śītalī | nom sg), [and] free of disease (arujā | nom sg f).
I take amṛtam as a nominal predicate of marut.
Notice how air feels against your tongue and palate. For this observation, the simple distinctions between cool, warm and barely perceptible are enough.

Thus (iti) [is described] the hissing breath retention (sītkāra-kumbhakaḥ | nom sg) for Pitta, fever, burning, thirst and the like (pitta-jvara-dāha-tṛṣādau | loc sg).
The image of cooling can remind you to look for a comfortable measure in practice.
