athādhyātmam udāna eva pūrṇamā udānena hyayam puruṣaḥ pūryata iva prāṇa eva darśo dadṛśa iva hyayam prāṇastadetāvannādaścānnapradaśca darśapūrṇamāsau
Then as to the body. The full moon is the up-breathing, for it is by the up-breathing that this man is, as it were, filled; and the new moon is the out (and in)-breathing, for this out-breathing appears, as it were: thus, the full and new moon are these two, the eater and the giver of food.
