रथस्त्वत्र स्मृतः प्राणः कल्पनाया मुनीश्वर ।
यत्र प्राणमरुत्तत्र मननं परितिष्ठति ॥ ४३ ॥

rathastvatra smṛtaḥ prāṇaḥ kalpanāyā munīśvara |
yatra prāṇamaruttatra mananaṃ paritiṣṭhati || 43 ||

Know, O sage, that the vital breath is called the vehicle of the mind by fiction only; because wherever there is the breath of vitality, there is also the process of thinking carried on along with it.
