Prashna Upanishad

1.5

Translation by Swami Sivananda
5 The sun is, indeed, prana, life; the moon is rayi, food. Food is, indeed, all this what has form and what is formless. Therefore everything having form is, indeed, food. 

Translation by Max Mueller
5. The sun is spirit, matter is the moon. All this, what has body and what has no body, is matter, and therefore body indeed is matter.
