PRAŚNA UPANISHAD · 2.4

सोऽभिमानादूर्ध्वमुत्क्रामत इव तस्मिन्नुत्क्रामत्यथेतरे सर्व
एवोत्क्रामन्ते तस्मिंश्च प्रतिष्ठमाने सर्व एव प्रतिष्ठन्ते । तद्यथा
मक्षिका मधुकरराजानमुत्क्रामन्तं सर्व एवोत्क्रमन्ते तस्मिंश्च
प्रतिष्ठमाने सर्व एव प्रातिष्ठन्त एवं वाङ्मनश्चक्षुः श्रोत्रं
च ते प्रीताः प्राणं स्तुन्वन्ति ॥ २.४॥

so’bhimānādūrdhvamutkrāmata iva tasminnutkrāmatyathetare sarva
evotkrāmante tasmiṃśca pratiṣṭhamāne sarva eva pratiṣṭhante । tadyathā
makṣikā madhukararājānamutkrāmantaṃ sarva evotkramante tasmiṃśca
pratiṣṭhamāne sarva eva prātiṣṭhanta evaṃ vāṅmanaścakṣuḥ śrotraṃ
ca te prītāḥ prāṇaṃ stunvanti ॥ 2.4॥

“Therefore offended he rose up, he was issuing out from the body. But when the Breath goeth out, then go all the others with him, and when the Breath abideth all the others abide; therefore as bees with the kingbee: when he goeth out all go out with him, and when he abideth all abide, even so was it with Speech and Mind and Sight and Hearing; then were they well-pleased and hymned the Breath to adore him.
