Chandogya Upanishad is one of the oldest Upanishad written on the Vedic Brahmana period about ninth to eighth century BC. Chandogya Upanishad is associated with Sama Veda. It is ranked ninth in the Muktika canon of hundred and eight Upanishadas. The 14th Khanda of Chapter Five of Chandogya Upanishad states about the Prana of the Vaisvanara Self. Aswapati asked Indradyumna, the grandson of Bhallavi that on whom does he meditate as the Self. Indradyumna replied that it is on the air that he meditates. The king said that the Self that he meditates upon is the Vaisvanara Self of varied courses (Prithagvartma). It is for this reason that he received gifts from different places, rows of chariots follow him in different directions ways and he eats food and sees what is pleasing. One who meditates on the Vaisvanara Self is able to eat food, see what is pleasing and has in his family the glory of Brahman. The wind is the breath of that Soul.
