BU 6.1.7
ते हेमे प्राणा अहंश्रेयसे विवदमाना ब्रह्म जग्मुः । तद् धोचुः -- को नो वसिष्ठ इति । तद् धोवाच -- यस्मिन् व उत्क्रान्त इदं शरीरं पापियो मन्यते स वो वसिष्ठ इति
te heme prāṇā ahaṃśreyase vivadamānā brahma jagmuḥ | tad dhocuḥ -- ko no vasiṣṭha iti | tad dhovāca -- yasmin va utkrānta idaṃ śarīraṃ pāpiyo manyate sa vo vasiṣṭha iti
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
These Pranas (senses), when quarrelling together as to who was the best, went to Brahman and said: ‘ Who is the richest of us?’ He replied: ‘ He by whose departure this body seems worst, he is the richest.’
