अर्थMeaning
Here they say: 'How is it that he who blows like one only, should be called one and a half (adhyardha)?' And the answer is: 'Because, when the wind was blowing, everything grew (adhyardhnot).' He asked: 'Who is the one god?' Yâgñavalkya replied: 'Breath (prâna), and he is Brahman (the Sûtrâtman), and they call him That (tyad).'

व्याख्याVyakhya
इस पर कहते हैं: 'यह जो बहता है, वह तो एक-सा ही बहता है; तो यह अध्यर्ध कैसे है?' (उत्तर:) 'क्योंकि इसी में यह सब अधिक बढ़ा (अध्यार्ध्नोत्), इसलिए यह अध्यर्ध है।' 'एक देवता कौन है?' 'प्राण; वह ब्रह्म है, उसे 'त्यत्' (वह) कहते हैं।'
