Translation/Explanation

Hindi: वह जो प्राण को ऊपर की ओर ले जाता है और अपान को नीचे की ओर भेजता है, उस मध्य में स्थित सूक्ष्म आत्मा की सभी देवता (इन्द्रियाँ) उपासना करते हैं।

English: He who leads the prāṇa upwards and casts the apāna downwards; the vāmanam (subtle being) seated in the middle, all devāḥ (sense-organs) worship.

Commentary

In realising the existence of the ātman, an evidence is offered—Upwards means from the heart. Prāṇa is the vital force, whose function is connected with breath. Unnayati means leads upwards. Similarly, casts the apāna downwards. The word yaḥ (who) should be supplied to complete the sentence. Him seated in the middle, i.e., in the ākāśa of the lotus of the heart, with the light of knowledge clearly shining in the intellect and worthy of worship, all the devāḥ, i.e., the senses, the eyes and the rest, propitiate by bringing in the perceptions of form, etc., as the subjects please the king, by offerings—i.e., they are uninterruptedly active on his account. The drift of the text is that there is another, on whose behalf and by whom is directed all the activity of the winds and the senses.
