1. It said: ‘What will be my food?’

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

‘Whatever there is here, even to dogs and birds,’ they said.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

So this, verily, is the food (anna) of breath (ana). Verily, breath is its evident name. Verily, in the case of one who knows this, there is nothing whatever that is not food.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
