जीवधातुर्यदा वातैः किंचित्संक्षुभ्यते भृशम् ।
ततोऽस्म्यहं सुप्त इति पश्यत्यात्मनि खे गतिम् ॥ २८ ॥

jīvadhāturyadā vātaiḥ kiṃcitsaṃkṣubhyate bhṛśam |
tato'smyahaṃ supta iti paśyatyātmani khe gatim || 28 ||

When the element of life is put to slight motion, by the breeze of the vital breath, it becomes conscious of its self-existence as "I am"; but the motion being accelerated, it finds itself to be flying in the air.
