Verse 13

¹³So that best of heroes joined the self to the Self, became Brahman, and firmly laid his body down when the time came. ¹⁴Pressing the seat with his heels, driving the breath up slowly, holding it at the navel and in the hollows, at the heart, the chest, the throat and the head, ¹⁵and sending it further up, he settled it by stages in the crown; wanting nothing, he joined air to air, his body to earth, his heat to heat, ¹⁶the openings to space, the fluid to water, each in its own place and part by part: earth into water, water into heat, heat into air, air into space. ¹⁷The mind he set in the senses, and the senses in the subtle elements as they had come to be; and drawing these back into the first of the elements, he laid them in the great self.

¹⁸That whole laying-out of the strands he set in the living one, who is made of maya; and the remainder that lodged within him, he in whom it lodged let go by the strength of knowledge and detachment, standing in his own form, being master.
