1.3.3

atha khalu vyānam evodgītham upāsīta \
yad vai prāṇiti sa prāṇaḥ \
yad apāniti so 'pānaḥ \
atha yaḥ prāṇāpānayoḥ saṃdhiḥ sa vyānaḥ \
yo vyānaḥ sā vāk \
tasmād aprāṇann anapānan vācam abhivyāharati \\103.3\

3. But one should also reverence the diffused breath (vyāna) as an Udgītha. When one breathes in—that is the in-breath (prāṇa). When one breathes out—that is the out-breath (apāna). The junction of the in-breath and the out-breath is the diffused breath. Speech is the diffused breath. Therefore one utters speech without in-breathing, without out-breathing.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
