The Upaniṣads / Kaṭha / 5.10 As the one wind
5.10
वायुर् यथैको भुवनं प्रविष्टो रूपं रूपं प्रतिरूपो बभूव ।
एकस् तथा सर्वभूतान्तरात्मा रूपं रूपं प्रतिरूपो बहिश् च vāyur yathaiko bhuvanaṃ praviṣṭo rūpaṃ rūpaṃ pratirūpo babhūva |
ekas tathā sarvabhūtāntarātmā rūpaṃ rūpaṃ pratirūpo bahiś ca
The line
As the one wind, having entered the world, has become the likeness of each form, so the one inner self of every being, and outside as well.
नेपालीमा
एक वायु संसारमा पसेर प्रत्येक रूपको आकृति भएझैँ, प्रत्येक प्राणीको एक भित्री आत्मा त्यस्तै हो र बाहिर पनि।
Where it sits
Fire and wind are two images for one claim. The next image is the sun, and the claim changes: he is not smeared by the world's suffering.
Split: vāyuḥ yathā ekaḥ (वायुः यथा एकः) + bhuvanam praviṣṭaḥ (भुवनम् प्रविष्टः) + rūpam rūpam pratirūpaḥ babhūva (रूपम् रूपम् प्रतिरूपः बभूव) + ekaḥ tathā sarva-bhūta-antarātmā (एकः तथा सर्व-भूत-अन्तरात्मा) + bahiḥ ca (बहिः च)
