CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 3.13.3

अथ यो ऽस्य प्रत्यङ् सुषिः सो ऽपानः ।
सा वाक् ।
सो ऽग्निः ।
तद् एतद् ब्रह्मवर्चसम् अन्नाद्यम् इत्य् उपासीत ।
ब्रह्मवर्चस्य् अन्नादो भवति य एवं वेद ॥

atha yo ’sya pratyaṅ suṣiḥ so ’pānaḥ ।
sā vāk ।
so ’gniḥ ।
tad etad brahmavarcasam annādyam ity upāsīta ।
brahmavarcasy annādo bhavati ya evaṃ veda ॥

The western gate is the Apâna (down-breathing), that is speech, that is Agni (fire). Let a man meditate on that as glory of countenance and health. He who knows this, becomes glorious and healthy.

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