Is it Prana, or Apana, or Samana, or Vyana, or Udana?" The life winds are to be known as existing in pairs, viz., those that move transversely, upwards, and downwards." Do thou tell me what the pairs are of the life-winds, that move transversely, upwards, and downwards." It also arises from sound. It arises also from taste; it arises too from colour.
The life-winds of this goat have been made to return to their respective sources. Only the inanimate body remains behind. This is what I think. Abstention from cruelty is the foremost of all duties. Even this is the teaching of the elders. Always abstaining from cruelty to all creatures is what meets with our approbation. We establish this from what is directly perceptible.
Desire and aversion spring from Nature, after the manner of the upward and the downward life-winds when souls have entered animate bodies. Yogins would behold in the body. Dwelling in that, I am never attached to anything through desire and wrath, and decrepitude and death.
His eye will enter the sun; his ear will enter the different points of the horizon; his life-winds will enter the sky. What need hast thou for it? This goat is especially dependent. It behoveth thee to see them who can give their consent in this. After hearing their consent, the matter will become fit for consideration.
All are foremost in their own spheres, and all possess special attributes." Thus said unto them, that were assembled together, the Lord of all creatures. There is one that is unmoving, and one that is moving. In consequence of special attributes, there are five life-winds. My own self is one. That one accumulates into many forms.
Unto him Udana said, "I am the foremost of all the life-winds. Listen, for what reason. When I become extinct, all the life-winds become extinct in the bodies of living creatures. When I move about they once more move about. Hence, I am the foremost. Behold, I go into extinction!"
""'Apana said, "When I become extinct, all the life-winds become extinct in the bodies of living creatures. When I move about, they again move about. I am, therefore, the foremost. Behold, I go into extinction!" ""The Brahmana continued, 'Unto Apana who said so, both Vyana and Udana said "O Apana, thou art not the foremost. Then Apana began to move about. Listen, for what reason.
Vyana then began to move about and Samana said unto him, "I am the foremost of you all. Listen, for what reason. When I become extinct, all the life-winds become extinct in the bodies of living creatures. When I begin to move about, they once more move about. Hence, I am the foremost. Behold, I go into extinction!" Then Samana began to move about.
The sense seems to be this: the life-winds indicate the operations of the several organs of action; the tongue, which stands here for all the organs of perception, of the sensual perceptions; the mind, of all the internal operations; the quality of goodness, of all pleasure; and the quality of passion, of all kinds of pain. These, therefore include the whole external and the internal worlds.
When the soul sleeps, both Samana and Vyana are absorbed. Between Apana and Prana, Udana dwells, pervading all. Hence, Prana and Apana do not desert a sleeping person. In consequence of its controlling all the life-winds, the controlling breath is called Udana. Hence, utterers of Brahman undergo penances which have myself for their goal.
