Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 8 - Chapter 1 - Verse 37


Sanskrit:

प्राणादभूद् यस्य चराचराणांप्राण: सहो बलमोजश्च वायु: ।अन्वास्म सम्राजमिवानुगा वयंप्रसीदतां न: स महाविभूति: ॥ ३७ ॥

ITRANS:

prāṇād abhūd yasya carācarāṇāṁprāṇaḥ saho balam ojaś ca vāyuḥanvāsma samrājam ivānugā vayaṁprasīdatāṁ naḥ sa mahā-vibhūtiḥ

Translation:

All living entities, moving and nonmoving, receive their vital force, their bodily strength and their very lives from the air. All of us follow the air for our vital force, exactly as servants follow an emperor. The vital force of air is generated from the original vital force of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. May that Supreme Lord be pleased with us.
