5.14.1
atha hovācendradyumnaṃ bhāllaveyam \
vaiyāghrapadya kaṃ tvam ātmānam upāssa iti \
vāyum eva bhagavo rājann iti hovāca \
eṣa vai pṛthagvartmātmā vaiśvānaro yaṃ tvam ātmānam upāsse \
tasmāt tvāṃ pṛthag balaya āyanti pṛthag rathaśreṇayo 'nuyanti \\514.1\
Then the king said to Indradyumna Bhāllaveya, 'O descendant of Vyāghrapada, what is that Ātman on which you meditate?' He replied, 'Air only, O venerable king.' The king said, 'This that you meditate upon as Ātman is the Vaiśvānara Ātman known as "the diversely coursed". Therefore from diverse directions offerings come to you, and various rows of chariots follow you.
5.14.2
atsy annaṃ paśyasi priyam \
atty annaṃ paśyati priyaṃ bhavaty asya brahmavarcasaṃ kule ya etam evam ātmānaṃ vaiśvānaram upāste \
prāṇas tv eṣa ātmana iti hovāca \
prāṇas ta udakramiṣyad yan māṃ nāgamiṣya iti \\514.2\
'So you eat food and see what is dear. One who thus meditates upon this Vaiśvānara Ātman eats food and sees what is dear, and there is in his family the holy effulgence born of sacred wisdom. But this is only the Prāṇa of the Ātman. If you had not come to me your Prāṇa would have departed.'
