The thirteen / Chāndogya Upanishad / Adhyāya 1 · Khaṇḍa 3

CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 1.3.5

अतो यान्य् अन्यानि वीर्यवन्ति कर्माणि यथाग्नेर् मन्थनम् आजेः सरणं दृढस्य धनुष आयमनम् अप्राणन्न् अनपानंस् तानि करोति ।
एतस्य हेतोर् व्यानम् एवोद्गीथम् उपासीत ॥

ato yāny anyāni vīryavanti karmāṇi yathāgner manthanam ājeḥ saraṇaṃ dṛḍhasya dhanuṣa āyamanam aprāṇann anapānaṃs tāni karoti ।
etasya hetor vyānam evodgītham upāsīta ॥

And other works also which require strength, such as the production of fire by rubbing, running a race, stringing a strong bow, are performed without breathing up or down. Therefore let a man meditate on the udgîtha (Om) as vyâna.

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 1 (1879)
