Kaushitaki Brahmana • Chapter 3 • Shloka 4
स यदाऽस्माच्छरीरादुत्क्रामति सहैवैतैः सर्वैरुत्क्रामति वागस्मात्सर्वाणि नामान्यभिवि सृजते । वाचा सर्वाणि नामान्याप्नोति प्राणो ऽस्मात्सर्वान्नान्धानभिविसृजते प्राणेन सर्वान्गन्धाना- प्रोति चक्षुरस्मात्सर्वाणि रूपाण्यभिविसृजते चक्षुषा सर्वाणि रूपाण्याप्नोति श्रोत्रमस्मात्सर्वाश- ब्दानभिविसृजते श्रोत्रेण सर्वाञ्शब्दानाप्नोति मनोऽस्मात्सर्वाणि ध्यानान्यभिविसृजते मनसा सर्वाणि ध्यानान्याप्नोति सैषा प्राणे सर्वातिः। यो वै प्राणः सा प्रज्ञा या वा प्रज्ञा स प्राणः सह ह्येतावस्मिशरीरे वसतः सहोत्क्रामतः। अथ खलु यथाऽस्यै प्रज्ञायै सर्वाणि भूतान्येकं भवन्ति तद्व्याख्यास्यामः ॥
When a person departs from this body, he departs together with all these faculties.
Speech releases all names from him, and through speech he attains all names.
Prāṇa releases all smells from him, and through Prāṇa he attains all smells.
The eye releases all forms from him, and through the eye he attains all forms.
The ear releases all sounds from him, and through the ear he attains all sounds.
The mind releases all thoughts and contemplations from him, and through the mind he attains all thoughts and contemplations.
This is the all-embracing nature of Prāṇa.
That which is Prāṇa is Prajñā (Consciousness); and that which is Prajñā is Prāṇa.
Together they dwell in this body, and together they depart from it.
Now we shall explain how, for this Prajñā (Consciousness), all beings become one.
