BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 3.4.1

अथ हैनम् उषस्तश् चाक्रायणः पप्रच्छ ।
याज्ञवल्क्येति होवाच -- यत् साक्षाद् अपरोक्षाद् ब्रह्म य आत्मा सर्वान्तरस् तं मे व्याचक्ष्वेति ।
एष त आत्मा सर्वान्तरः ।
यः प्राणेन प्राणिति स त आत्मा सर्वान्तरः ।
यो ऽपानेनापानिति स त आत्मा सर्वान्तरः ।
यो व्यानेन व्यनिति स त आत्मा सर्वान्तरः ।
य उदानेनोदनिति स त आत्मा सर्वान्तरः ।
एष त आत्मा सर्वान्तरः ॥

atha hainam uṣastaś cākrāyaṇaḥ papraccha ।
yājñavalkyeti hovāca -- yat sākṣād aparokṣād brahma ya ātmā sarvāntaras taṃ me vyācakṣveti ।
eṣa ta ātmā sarvāntaraḥ ।
yaḥ prāṇena prāṇiti sa ta ātmā sarvāntaraḥ ।
yo ’pānenāpāniti sa ta ātmā sarvāntaraḥ ।
yo vyānena vyaniti sa ta ātmā sarvāntaraḥ ।
ya udānenodaniti sa ta ātmā sarvāntaraḥ ।
eṣa ta ātmā sarvāntaraḥ ॥

Then Ushasta Kâkrâyana asked. 'Yâgñavalkya,' he said, 'tell me the Brahman which is visible, not invisible, the Self (âtman), who is within all.' Yâgñavalkya replied: 'This, thy Self, who is within all.' 'Which Self, O Yâgñavalkya, is within all?' Yâgñavalkya replied: 'He who breathes in the up-breathing, he is thy Self, and within all. He who breathes in the down-breathing, he is thy Self, and within all. He who breathes in the on-breathing, he is thy Self, and within all. He who breathes in the out-breathing, he is thy Self, and within all. This is thy Self, who is within all.'
