3. Now with reference to oneself.— Breath (prāṇa), verily, is a snatcher-unto-itself. When one sleeps, speech just goes to breath; the eye, to breath; the ear, to breath; the mind, to breath; for the breath, truly, snatches all here to itself.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
