Mantra 4
Sukta 8
प्राणापानौ चक्षुः श्रोत्रमक्षितिश्च क्षितिश्च या। व्यानोदानौ वाङ् मनस्ते वा आकूतिमावहन्
prāṇāpānāú cákṣuḥ śrótram ákṣitiś ca kṣítiś ca yā́ | vyānódānāu vā́ṅ mánaḥ té vā́ ākū́tim ā́vahan |
In-breath and out-breath, sight and hearing, imperishableness and firm support; diffusive breath and upward breath, speech and mind—these verily brought hither settled purpose.
入息与出息，眼见与耳闻，不坏与大地之坚固支撑；遍行之气（vyāna）与上行之气（udāna），言语与心意——正是这些把既定的意向（ākūti）引来于此。
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (adhyātmika enumeration)
