Mundaka 4.03
tadetakṣaraṃ brahma sa prāṇastadu vāṅmanaḥ। tadetat satyaṃ tadamṛtaṃ tad veddhavyaṃ somya viddhi ॥3॥
That imperishable essence is Brahman, encompassing life-force, speech, and mind. It is immortal, the ultimate truth, something to be realized, the dear one.
Bhāshya 4.03
The Lord Viṣṇu is called the 'prāṇa', i.e. life-force, as he is the lord of the life-force, he is called 'vāk' i.e. speech, as he is expressed by speech, he is called 'mano' i.e. mind, as he is expressed through thoughts. Such Lord Vishnu is the controller of all living beings.
"prāṇaḥ praṇayanādviṣṇuḥ vaktr̥tvādvāgudīritaḥ। mano mantr̥tvato viṣṇuḥ sarvajīvaniyāmakaḥ॥"
