BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 4.3.38

तद् यथा राजानं प्रयियासन्तम् उग्राः प्रत्येनसः सूतग्रामण्यो ऽभिसमायन्ति ।
एवम् एवेमम् आत्मानम् अन्तकाले सर्वे प्राणा अभिसमायन्ति ।
यत्रैतद् ऊर्ध्वोच्छ्वासी भवति ॥

tad yathā rājānaṃ prayiyāsantam ugrāḥ pratyenasaḥ sūtagrāmaṇyo ’bhisamāyanti ।
evam evemam ātmānam antakāle sarve prāṇā abhisamāyanti ।
yatraitad ūrdhvocchvāsī bhavati ॥

'And as policemen, magistrates, equerries, and governors gather round a king who is departing, thus do all the senses (prânas) gather round the Self at the time of death, when a man is thus going to expire.'

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 15 (1884)
