Sage pippalada while answering to Sanaka said, it is Prana, which is same as Atman that exercise the power. Brahman that is all pervading rules all. Jiva is the one that identify itself with indriyas. Jiva mend the objective world from himself, just like a spider mend its web. In sushupti one knows about Brahman.

The supreme support of all thing, the kshtrajna which is same as Brahman is the one to be realized.
