1.11.9

annam iti hovāca \
sarvāṇi ha vā imāni bhūtany annam eva pratiharamāṇāni jīvanti \
saiṣā devatā pratihāram anvāyattā \
tāṃ ced avidvān pratyahariṣyo mūrdhā te vyapatiṣyat tathoktasya mayeti tathoktasya mayeti \\111.9\

'Food', said Uṣasti; 'all these movable and immovable beings live by partaking of food only. This is the deity that belongs to the Pratihāra. If you sang the Pratihāra without knowing him, after your having been warned thus by me, your head would have fallen down.'

Swami Swahananda 1956, The Chāndogya Upaniṣad
