The Brahniana said Prana then became extinct and once more moved about. Then Saman and Udana also, O blessed one, said these words, You do not live here, pervading all this, as we do. You are not the foremost amongst us, O Prana! (Only) Apana is under your dominion! Prana then moved about, and to him Apana spoke.
ब्राह्मण उवाच प्राणः प्रालीयत तत: पुनश्च प्रचचार ह। समानश्चाप्युदानश्च वचोऽव्रतां पुनः शुभे॥ न त्वं सर्वमिदं व्याप्य तिष्ठसीह यथा वयम्। न त्वं श्रेष्ठो हि नः प्राण अपानो हि वशे तव। प्रचचार पुनः प्राणस्तमपानोऽभ्यभाषत॥
