Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

‘And as policemen, magistrates, equerries, and governors gather round a king who is departing, thus do all the senses (pranas) gather round the Self at the time of death, when a man is thus going to expire.’
