Prashna Upanishad

3.4

Translation by Swami Sivananda
4 As an emperor commands his officials, saying; “Rule these villages or those,” so this prana employs the other pranas, each in its separate place. 

Translation by Max Mueller
4. As a king commands officials, saying to them: Rule these villages or those, so does that Prâna (spirit) dispose the other prânas, each for their separate work.
