"This [Lifebreath] burns as fire—this as sun;"

"The lifebreath here arises from the self (atman)."

"That on which rest the breaths and beings,"

"What cannot be seen, what cannot be grasped,"

"As the rivers flow on and enter into the ocean"

"Knowledge and ignorance—"

"As a spider spins out threads, then draws them into itself;"

"Two birds, companions and friends,"

"Not by sight, not by speech, nor by any other sense;"

"This whole world is to be dwelt in by the Lord,"
