ते हेमे प्राणा अहंश्रेयसे विवदमाना ब्रह्म जग्मुः ।तद्धोचुः को नो वसिष्ठ इति ।तद्धोवाच यस्मिन् व उत्क्रान्त इदं शरीरं पापियो मन्यते स वो वसिष्ठ इति ॥६,१.७ ॥
In plain words
These breaths, disputing among themselves which was the better, went to Brahman and said, "Which of us is the richest?" He said, "That one on whose going out this body seems the worse — he is the richest among you."
