The thirteen / Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upanishad / Adhyāya 3 · Brāhmaṇa 2

BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 3.2.10

याज्ञवल्क्येति होवाच -- यद् इदं सर्वं मृत्योर् अन्नं का स्वित् सा देवता यस्या मृत्युर् अन्नम् इति ।
अग्निर् वै मृत्युः सो ऽपाम् अन्नम् ।
अप पुनर्मृत्युं जयति ॥

yājñavalkyeti hovāca -- yad idaṃ sarvaṃ mṛtyor annaṃ kā svit sā devatā yasyā mṛtyur annam iti ।
agnir vai mṛtyuḥ so ’pām annam ।
apa punarmṛtyuṃ jayati ॥

'Yâgñavalkya,' he said, 'everything is the food of death. What then is the deity to whom death is food?' 'Fire (agni) is death, and that is the food of water. Death is conquered again.'
