2.7.1

prāṇeṣu pañcavidhaṃ parovarīyaḥ sāmopāsīta \
prāṇo (S )kāraḥ \
vāk prastāvaḥ \
cakṣur udgīthaḥ \
śrotraṃ pratihāraḥ \
mano nidhanam \
parovarīyāṃsi vā etāni \\207.1\

1. In the vital breaths (_prāṇa_) one should reverence the most excellent fivefold Sāman. Breath is a Hiṅkāra. Speech is a Prastāva. The eye is an Udgītha. The ear is a Pratihāra. The mind is a Nidhana. Verily, these are the most excellent.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

2.7.2

parovarīyo hāsya bhavati parovarīyaso ha lokāñ jayati ya etad evaṃ vidvān prāṇeṣu pañcavidhaṃ parovarīyaḥ sāmopāste \
iti tu pañcavidhasya \\207.2\

2. The most excellent becomes his, he wins the most excellent worlds, who, knowing this thus, reverences the most excellent fivefold Sāman in the vital breaths. —So much for the fivefold.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
