तस्माद्वै वायुरायातस्तस्मिंश्च प्रयतः सदा । तस्मादग्निश्च सोमश्च तस्मिंश्च प्राण आततः॥५-४५-११॥

From that principle indeed the wind has come forth, and in that it is ever held in due order. From that arise fire and soma, and in that the vital breath (prāṇa) is extended and all-pervading.

english translation

सर्वमेव ततो विद्यात्तत्तद्वक्तुं न शक्नुमः । योगिनस्तं प्रपश्यन्ति भगवन्तं सनातनम्॥५-४५-१२॥

From that one should understand everything; yet we are not able to articulate it fully in detail. Yogins behold that Eternal Blessed One.

english translation

अपानं गिरति प्राणः प्राणं गिरति चन्द्रमाः । आदित्यो गिरते चन्द्रमादित्यं गिरते परः । योगिनस्तं प्रपश्यन्ति भगवन्तं सनातनम्॥५-४५-१३॥

Prāṇa absorbs apāna; the moon absorbs prāṇa. The sun absorbs the moon; and the Supreme absorbs the sun. Yogins behold that Eternal Blessed One.

english translation

एकं पादं नोत्क्षिपति सलिलाद्धंस उच्चरन् । तं चेत्सततमृत्विजं न मृत्युर्नामृतं भवेत् । योगिनस्तं प्रपश्यन्ति भगवन्तं सनातनम्॥५-४५-१४॥

The haṃsa, rising upward from the water, does not lift even one foot from it. If one were to attend continually upon that ever-sacrificing priest, the ṛtvij, there would be no “death”; there would be immortality. Yogins behold that Eternal Blessed One.

english translation

एवं देवो महात्मा स पावकं पुरुषो गिरन् । यो वै तं पुरुषं वेद तस्येहात्मा न रिष्यते । योगिनस्तं प्रपश्यन्ति भगवन्तं सनातनम्॥५-४५-१५॥

Thus that great-souled divine one—the Person—absorbs the purifying fire. Whoever truly knows that Person, his self here is not harmed. Yogins behold that Eternal Blessed One.
