________________ II ÂRANYAKA, I ADHYAYA, 4 KHANDA, 17. 207 this body; then on whose departure this body shall fall, he shall be the uktha among us?.' 10. Speech went out, yet the body without speaking remained, eating and drinking. Sight went out, yet the body without seeing remained, eating and drinking. Hearing went out, yet the body without hearing remained, eating and drinking. Mind went out, yet the body, as if blinking, remained, eating and drinking. Breath went out, then when breath was gone out, the body fell. 11. It was decayed, and because people said, it decayed, therefore it was called) body (sarira). That is the reason of its name. 12. If a man knows this, then the evil enemy who hates him decays, or the evil enemy who hates him is defeated. 13. They strove again, saying: 'I am the uktha, I am the uktha.' 'Well,' they said, 'let us enter that body again; then on whose entrance this body shall rise again, he shall be the uktha among us.' 14. Speech entered, but the body lay still. Sight entered, but the body lay still. Hearing entered, but the body lay still. Mind entered, but the body lay still. Breath entered, and when breath had entered, the body rose, and it became the uktha. 15. Therefore breath alone is the uktha. 16. Let people know that breath is the uktha indeed. 17. The Devas (the other senses) said to breath: 'Thou art the uktha, thou art all this, we are thine, thou art ours.' 1 Cf. Kh. Up. V, 1; Brih. Up. VI, 1; Kaush. Up. II, 12-14; III, 2; Prasna Up. II, 1.
