Verse 7.139.2

तेन संकल्पितः प्राणः प्राणो मे गतिरित्यपि ।
न भवामि विनानेन तेन तत्तत्परायणम् ॥ २ ॥

tena saṃkalpitaḥ prāṇaḥ prāṇo me gatirityapi |
na bhavāmi vinānena tena tattatparāyaṇam || 2 ||

[Now in an answer to Rama's question, “how does the mind subsist or have its action or thought without being moved by the vital breath, he says that] whenever the mind fancies itself as the vital breath, and can neither subsist nor do any thing without its being actuated by the air of respiration; it is then said to be subject to vitality (i.e. to exist with the breath of a living being and no more).”
