कश्च वायुरवायुश्च कः शब्दोऽशब्द एव कः ।
कः सर्वं न च किंचिच्च कोऽहं नाहं च किं भवेत् ॥ ११ ॥

kaśca vāyuravāyuśca kaḥ śabdo'śabda eva kaḥ |
kaḥ sarvaṃ na ca kiṃcicca ko'haṃ nāhaṃ ca kiṃ bhavet || 11 ||

Who is called the spirit, but is no air in itself; and who is said to be the sound or word, but is none of them himself? He is called the All, but is none at all of all that exists; and he is known as Ego, but no ego is he himself.
