5.16.1

atha hovāca buḍilam āśvatarāśvim \
vaiyāghrapadya kaṃ tvam ātmānam upāssa iti \
apa eva bhagavo rājann iti hovāca \
eṣa vai rayir ātmā vaiśvānaro yaṃ tvam ātmānam upāsse \
tasmāt tvaṃ rayimān puṣṭimān asi \\516.1\

Then the king said to Buḍila Āśvatarāśvi, ‘O Vaiyāghrapadya, what is the Ātman on which you meditate?’ He replied, ‘Water only, O venerable king.’ The king said, ‘This that you meditate upon as Ātman is the Vaiśvānara Ātman known as “the wealth”. Therefore are you endowed with wealth and bodily strength.
