PrU 2.3

तान् वरिष्टः प्राण उवाच । मा मोहमापद्यथ, अहम् एवैतत् पञ्चधात्मानं प्रविभज्यैतद् बाणमवष्टभ्य विधारयामीति । ते ऽश्रद्दधाना बभूवुः

tān variṣṭaḥ prāṇa uvāca | mā mohamāpadyatha, aham evaitat pañcadhātmānaṃ pravibhajyaitad bāṇamavaṣṭabhya vidhārayāmīti | te 'śraddadhānā babhūvuḥ

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

Then Prâna (breath, spirit, life), as the best, said to them: Be not deceived, I alone, dividing myself fivefold, support this body and keep it.
