1.11.5

prāṇa iti hovāca \
sarvāṇi ha vā imāni bhūtāni prāṇam evābhisaṃviśanti \
prāṇam abhyujjihate \
saiṣā devatā prastāvam anvāyattā \
tāṃ ced avidvān prāstoṣyo mūrdhā te vipatiṣyat tathoktasya mayeti \\111.5\

‘Prāṇa’, said Uṣasti; ‘all these movable and immovable beings merge in Prāṇa (during dissolution) and rise out of Prāṇa (during creation). This is the deity that belongs to the Prastāva.’ If you sang the Prastāva without knowing him, after your having been warned thus by me, your head would have fallen down.’
