The thirteen / Chāndogya Upanishad / Adhyāya 2 · Khaṇḍa 11

CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 2.11.1

मनो हिङ्कारः ।
वाक् प्रस्तावः ।
चक्षुर् उद्गीथः ।
श्रोत्रं प्रतिहारः ।
प्राणो निधनम् ।
एतद् गायत्रं प्राणेषु प्रोतम् ॥

mano hiṅkāraḥ ।
vāk prastāvaḥ ।
cakṣur udgīthaḥ ।
śrotraṃ pratihāraḥ ।
prāṇo nidhanam ।
etad gāyatraṃ prāṇeṣu protam ॥

The hiṅkâra is mind, the prastâva speech, the udgîtha sight, the pratihâra hearing, the nidhana breath. That is the Gâyatra Sâman, as interwoven in the (five) prânas.

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