3. To all the said viz., ether, air, fire etc., the mightiest
prana
(the vital power or breath in body) said: "Don't be disi-
llusioned.
I
am supporting and preserving the body, dividing
myself in five parts
(pran, apan, vyan, saman
and
udan).

4. The said gods (in the body viz.,
tongue, eye, ear,
mind etc.) did not belive the
prana,
at which
the latter,
i.e.,
the
prana
was seen rising up proudly (being offended)
as if to go
out of the body. Seeing it (the
prana)
going out,
all the other
gods
also started going out, but when the prana
paused they
also
paused. Just as all bees follow their queen and
pause where
it
pauses or sits, so all the said gods of the body
depend upon
and
follow the
prana.
At this the tongue,
eye, ear
and
mind were all pleased and began to praise the
prana (as
their
leader and real supporter and preserver of the body).
