3.8.1.3
te vā eta ekādaśa prayājā bhavanti | daśa vā ime puruṣe prāṇā ātmaikādaśo yasminnete prāṇāḥ pratiṣṭhitā etāvānvai puruṣastadasya sarvamātmānamāpyāyanti tasmādekādaśa prayājā bhavanti
Now there are here eleven fore-offerings; for here in man there are ten vital airs, and the eleventh is the self wherein those vital airs are contained; this is the whole man; thus they fill his whole self, and therefore there are eleven fore-offerings.
