puruṣaṃ somyotopatāpinaṃ jñātayaḥ paryupāsate jānāsi māṃ jānāsi mām iti \
tasya yāvan na vāṅ manasi saṃpadyate manaḥ prāṇe prāṇas tejasi tejaḥ parasyāṃ devatāyāṃ tāvaj jānāti \\615.1\

'Dear boy, the relatives of a man who is ill assemble round him and ask, "Do you know me? Do you know me?" As long as his speech is not merged in the mind, the mind in Prāṇa, Prāṇa in fire, and fire in the supreme deity, so long does he know them.
