Some say that food is Brahman; but this is not so, for food decays without the vital breath (prana). Others say that the vital breath is Brahman; but this is not so, for the vital breath dries up without food. These two deities (food and the vital breath), when they become united, attain the highest state (Brahmanhood). Thus reflecting, Pratrida said to his father - "What good, indeed, can I do him who knows this and what evil can I do him either?" His father answered, stopping him with a gesture of his hand - "Oh, no, Pratrida; for who would attain the highest merely by being identified with these two?" Further, he (the father) said to him this - "It is vi; food is verily vi, for all these creatures rest (visanti) on food. It is ram; the vital breath is ram, for all these creatures delight (ramante) in the vital breath." All creatures rest on him, all creatures delight in him, who knows this.
