Sūtra translation
Breath is such (Brahman) : for the characteristics (of the Lord) are repeated in the text.
The characteristics of the Lord recur in the following and other texts : “ Him the gods made known (to their pupils).’’ “ He is the Lord that overthrows (our enemies), He is the Prana (highly blissful). “Let him understand all the Richas as referring to breath.” “The breath dwells in this body (which is described to be his car)’” (A. i.A-ii- 1.3). Here as well, the breath is but Vishnu. This is distinctly told in the Skanda. ‘ The gods brought to their pupils the knowledge of Vishnu. They contemplate Vishnu as their wealth ; it is He whom all the Vedas sing, and this body is said to be His chariot/ That breath is Vishnu also follows from the recur- rence of the word, ‘ Brahman.’
