The king then said to Indradyumna Bhāllaveya - ‘O Vaiyāghrapadya, whom do you worship as the Self?’ Indradyumna replied - ‘I worship Vāyu (air), revered king.’ The king said - ‘That which you worship as the Vaiśvānara Ātman is named Pṛthagvartmā (one who changes direction). This is why you receive gifts from all directions. And this is also why different kinds of chariots follow you in rows’.
‘You enjoy eating food and you see your dear ones and everything pleasant. He who worships the Vaiśvānara Self thus enjoys eating food and is able to see his dear ones. He also has children in his family who shine with the radiance of Brahman (i.e., they become well known for their good conduct and scholarship). But Vāyu (air) is like the Prana (i.e., the vital force) of the Self.’ Then the king said, ‘If you had not come to me your Prana would have left the body’.
