यच्चित्तस्तेनैष प्राणमायति। प्राणस्तेजसा युक्तः सहात्मना यथासङ्कल्पितं लोकं नयति। य एवं विद्वान् प्राणं वेद न हास्य प्रजा हीयतेऽमृतोभवति। तदेष श्लोकः।
The mind directs 'prāṇa' i.e the life-breath, and when the life-breath is united with energy and the Ātman, it leads to the desired world as envisioned. A wise person who knows the life-breath ensures that his lineage does not diminish and attains immortality. This is the verse:
"उत्पत्तिमायतिं स्थानं विभुत्वं चैव पञ्चधा। अध्यात्मं चैव प्राणस्य विज्ञायामृतमश्नुते॥ विज्ञायामृतमश्नुत"
"By understanding the origin, expansion, abode, pervasiveness, and the fivefold spiritual essence of the 'prāṇa' i.e. the life force, one achieves immortality."
इति ॥७॥
- thus ends the verse.
॥इति तृतीयप्रश्नः प्रतिवचनम्॥
This marks the conclusion of the answer to the third question.
