Olivelle Patrick The Early Upanishads Oxford University Press Oxford 1998 0-19-512435-9
This [Lifebreath] burns as fire—this as sun;
This as rain and Maghavan, this as wind;
This as earth and the divine substance;
As real and not-real;
And what is immortal.
2.5
The lifebreath here arises from the self (atman).
As this shadow here, upon a man,
So this mind is stretched upon lifebreath;
And it enters by a path created by the mind.
3.3
The origin, entrance, position,
the fivefold expansion of lifebreath;
how it relates to what's in the body—
A man who knows this becomes immortal.
3.12
That on which rest the breaths and beings,
and, with all the deities, the intelligent self;
Whoever knows that, my friend, as the imperishable;
He, knowing the whole world,
has entered the whole world indeed.
4.11
