The decisive demonstration. Prāṇa simulates departure — and every other faculty must follow. The bee-queen image is biologically vivid: remove one essential node and the entire system collapses. The other devas, defeated, now praise Prāṇa.
अभिमान के कारण प्राण मानो ऊपर उठने लगा। जब वह निकलने लगा, तब सभी देव निकलने लगे; जब वह स्थिर हुआ, तब सब स्थिर हुए। जैसे रानी-मक्खी के निकलने पर सभी मक्खियाँ निकलती हैं, और उसके बैठने पर बैठती हैं — वैसे ही वाणी, मन, नेत्र, कान — सब प्रसन्न होकर प्राण की स्तुति करने लगे।
अक्षरशः अनुवाद — मूल संस्कृत श्लोक के प्रत्येक पद का प्रत्यक्ष अर्थ।
Out of indignation, Prāṇa seemed to leave the body. When he departed, all the others also departed. When he returned and settled, all the others returned. As bees follow the queen-bee when she leaves, and follow when she returns, so speech, mind, eye, ear, and the rest praised Prāṇa.
Direct literal rendering preserving Sanskrit philosophical terminology.

Translation of the source text
Out of indignation, Prāṇa seemed to leave the body. When he departed, all the others also departed. When he returned and settled, all the others returned. As bees follow the queen-bee when she leaves, and follow when she returns, so speech, mind, eye, ear, and the rest praised Prāṇa.

The decisive demonstration. Prāṇa simulates departure — and every other faculty must follow. The bee-queen image is biologically vivid: remove one essential node and the entire system collapses. The other devas, defeated, now praise Prāṇa.

अभिमान के कारण प्राण मानो ऊपर उठने लगा। धीमी और लंबी श्वास वेगस तंत्रिका को सक्रिय कर हृदय की गति और भय-प्रतिक्रिया को शांत करती है। यह पंक्ति उसी श्वास-मन संबंध को कहती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
