Khandogya Upanishad​


When the Devas and Asuras struggled together, both of the race of Pragapati, the Devas took the udgitha, thinking they would vanquish the Asuras with it.
They meditated on the udgitha as the breath in the nose, but the Asuras pierced it with evil. Therefore we smell by the breath in the nose both what is good-smelling and what is bad-smelling. For the breath was pierced by evil.
Then they meditated on the udgitha as speech, but the Asuras pierced it with evil. Therefore we speak both truth and falsehood. For speech is pierced by evil.
Then they meditated on the udgitha as the eye, but the Asuras pierced it with evil. Therefore we see both what is sightly and unsightly. For the eye is pierced by evil.
Then they meditated on the udgitha as the ear, but the Asuras pierced it with evil. Therefore we hear both what should be heard and what should not be heard. For the car is pierced by evil.
Then they meditated on the udgitha as the mind, but the Asuras pierced it with evil. Therefore we conceive both what should be conceived and what should not be conceived. For the mind is pierced by evil.
