Verse 5.13.71

यदेतत्स्पन्दितं नाम तन्मनोऽधिगतं शठैः ।
मरुतां विद्धि तां शक्तिमन्तः प्राणशरीरिणीम् ॥ ७१ ॥

yadetatspanditaṃ nāma tanmano'dhigataṃ śaṭhaiḥ |
marutāṃ viddhi tāṃ śaktimantaḥ prāṇaśarīriṇīm || 71 ||

It is the moving principle in the body, which the sophists designate as the mind; but know it as a mere force of the winds, like the vital breath of living beings.
