(Wealth is indeed all this, which is manifest and unmanifest. Therefore, form is indeed wealth. Then, as the sun rises and enters the eastern direction, it places the eastern vital energies in the rays. Whatever illuminates the southern, western, northern, below, above, and intermediate directions, by that it places all vital energies in the rays.)

All that is manifest and unmanifest is indeed wealth. Therefore, form itself is wealth. As the sun rises and enters the eastern direction, it energizes the eastern vital forces through its rays. Similarly, it illuminates and energizes all directions—southern, western, northern, below, above, and in between—through its rays, placing all vital energies within them.

But He, the Lord, controls the breaths in the Ātman himself.

अमूर्तस्थः स वायुस्तु मूर्तसंस्था सरस्वती। आदित्यस्थः स वायुस्तु प्राणानात्मनि सन्नयेत्॥

In the formless state, he is air, but in the form state, he is Saraswati. In the Sun state he is the air, but he controls the breaths in the Ātman himself.
