The Devas said: 'Verily, thus far, whatever food there is, thou hast by singing acquired it for thyself. Now therefore give us a share in that food.' He said: 'You there, enter into me.' They said Yes, and entered all into him. Therefore whatever food is eaten by breath, by it the other senses are satisfied. If a man knows this, then his own relations come to him in the same manner; he becomes their supporter, their chief leader, their strong ruler . And if ever anyone tries to oppose one who is possessed of such knowledge among his own relatives, then he will not be able to support his own belongings. But he who follows the man who is possessed of such knowledge, and who with his permission wishes to support those whom he has to support, he indeed will be able to support his own belongings.

उन देवताओं ने कहा, 'जो कुछ अन्न है, वह सब इतना ही है, और उसे तुमने गाकर अपने लिए प्राप्त कर लिया है; अब इस अन्न में हमें भी भागीदार बनाओ।' उसने कहा, 'तो तुम चारों ओर से मुझमें प्रवेश करो।' 'ठीक है', कहकर वे उसके चारों ओर उसमें प्रविष्ट हो गए। इसलिए यह (प्राण) जो अन्न खाता है, उससे वे (इन्द्रियाँ) तृप्त होती हैं। जो ऐसा जानता है, उसमें उसके स्वजन इसी प्रकार आश्रय लेते हैं; वह अपने लोगों का भरण करने वाला, श्रेष्ठ, अग्रणी, अन्न का भोक्ता और अधिपति होता है। ऐसे ज्ञानी के विरुद्ध अपने लोगों में जो प्रतिस्पर्धी बनना चाहता है, वह अपने आश्रितों का भरण करने में समर्थ नहीं होता; पर जो उसका अनुसरण करता है और उसके अनुकूल रहकर अपने आश्रितों का भरण करना चाहता है, वही उनका भरण करने में समर्थ होता है।
