The equalizing breath (samāna) is so called because it "equalizes" (samaṁ nayati) the two oblations: the in-breathing and the out-breathing (ucchvāsa-niḥśvāsa). The mind, verily, indeed, is the sacrificer. The fruit of the sacrifice is the up-breath (udāna). It leads the sacrificer to Brahma day by day. > — Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads ### [4.4.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.prasna.4.4.p1) atraiṣa devaḥ svapne mahimānamanubhavati > 5. There, in sleep, that god experiences greatness. Whatever object has been seen, he sees again; whatever has been heard, he hears again. That which has been severally experienced in different places and regions, he severally experiences again and again. Both what has been seen and what has not been seen, both what has been heard and what has not been heard, both what has been experienced and what has not been experienced, both the real (sat) and the unreal (a-sat)—he sees all. He sees it, himself being all. > — Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads ### [4.4.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.prasna.4.4.p2) yaddṛṣṭaṃ dṛṣṭamanupaśyati śrutaṃ śrutamevārthamanuśṛṇoti deśadigantaraiśca pratyanubhūtaṃ ## Translations (2) - [The Thirteen Principal Upanishads](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.prasna~en-hume.4.p9) — Robert Ernest Hume 1921, English - [The Upanishads, Part II (SBE 15)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.prasna~en-muller.4.4) — Friedrich Max Müller 1884, English ## Commentaries (4) - [Praśnopaniṣadbhāṣya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.prasna!sankara.89.3) — Śaṅkara, Sanskrit - [Praśnaprakāśikā (Raṅgarāmānuja)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.prasna!rangaramanuja.4.4) — Raṅgarāmānuja Muni 1500, Sanskrit - [Commentary of Upaniṣadbrahmayogin](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.prasna!upanisadbrahmayogin.4.4) — Upaniṣadbrahmayogin 1700, Sanskrit - [Khaṇḍārtha](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.prasna!raghavendra-tirtha) — Rāghavendra Tīrtha, Sanskrit ## Linked texts (14) - [Īśādiviṃśottaraśatopaniṣadaḥ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.isadivimsottarasatopanisadah.1.34_229) — Sanskrit - [Upaniṣads](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.upanisads.12.4) — Sanskrit - [Aṣṭāviṃśatyupaniṣad](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.astavimsatyupanisad.20.4) — Sanskrit - [Upaniṣads Īśa to Aitareya](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.upanisadsisatoaitareya.12.4) — Sanskrit - [Aṣṭottaraśatopaniṣadaḥ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.samanya.astottarasatopanisadah.16.4) — Sanskrit - [Indian Philosophy](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.radhakrishnan-1923.v1.c9.s2.66) — S.
