अर्थMeaning
Yâgñavalkya said: 'Vâyu (air) is that thread, O Gautama. By air, as by a thread, O Gautama, this world and the other world, and all creatures are strung together. Therefore, O Gautama, people say of a dead person that his limbs have become unstrung; for by air, as by a thread, O Gautama, they were strung together.' The other said: 'So it is, O Yâgñavalkya. Tell now (who is) the puller within.'

व्याख्याVyakhya
उसने कहा, 'गौतम, वायु ही वह सूत्र है। गौतम, वायु-रूपी सूत्र से ही यह लोक, परलोक और सब प्राणी गुँथे हुए हैं। इसीलिए, गौतम, मरे हुए पुरुष के विषय में कहते हैं कि इसके अंग ढीले (बिखर) गए; क्योंकि, गौतम, वे वायु-रूपी सूत्र से ही गुँथे रहते हैं।' (उद्दालक ने कहा,) 'याज्ञवल्क्य, यह ऐसा ही है; अब अन्तर्यामी को बताओ।'
