Having understood that, he again approached his father Varuṇa, and said: ‘Declare Brahma, Sir!’
Then he said to him: ‘Desire to understand Brahma by austerity. Brahma is austerity (*tapas*).’
He performed austerity. Having performed austerity, he understood that Brahma is breath (*prāṇa*). For truly, indeed, beings here are born from breath, when born they live by breath, on deceasing they enter into breath.
