Verse 5.13.91

वायुतः स्पन्दशक्तिर्या सा चिता चेत्यते यदा ।
सचेत्या चित्तदैवान्तः संकल्पाद्याति चित्तताम् ॥ ९१ ॥

vāyutaḥ spandaśaktiryā sā citā cetyate yadā |
sacetyā cittadaivāntaḥ saṃkalpādyāti cittatām || 91 ||

When the intellect thinks on or has the perception by the pulsation caused by the air. The wind of breath gives pulsation to the intellect, and causes its power of intellection; and this intellectual power gives rise to all the thoughts and desires of the mind.
