The corresponding Ādhibhūta (pertaining to the elements) is called ghrātavya (the odoriferous) and the corresponding Adhidaivata (presiding deity) is pṛthivī (the earth). Accordingly, “the nādis form their bond (or connect them). He who moves in the nose (nāsā), in the odoriferous (ghrātavya), in the earth (pṛthivī), in the nādis, in prāṇa, in vijñāna, in ānanda, in the ākāśa of the heart and within all else—That is Ātman. It is that which should be worshipped. It is without old age, death, fear, sorrow or end.”

[...] In the Amanaska, [it is said]: ‘That is declared as the highest Brahma which is free from existence and non-existence, without cessation (nāśa) and arising (utpatti) [nāśotpattivivarjitam] and beyond all imaginings [of the mind]’.”.

If you are destroyed, the annihilation of all creations (sṛṣṭi-nāśa) will occur. But a sense of helpless despair is unnecessary. So I shall explain. [...]”.

If a being remains breathing even for a moment it is surely fortunate. The foolish man regards the loss of his dear one (priya-nāśa) as a dart shot into his heart. Another man looks on the same as a dart that has been pulled out, for it is a door to beatitude. When we are taught that our own body and soul unite and then separate, tell me which wise person should be tormented by separation from the external objects of the senses?”.
