11 He, O friend, who knows that imperishable Being wherein rests the intelligent self, together with the gods, the pranas and the elements he becomes all knowing and enters into all.

11. He, O friend, who knows that indestructible being wherein the true knower, the vital spirits (prânas), together with all the powers (deva), and the elements rest, he, being all-knowing, has penetrated all.

Sri Shankara’s Commentary (Bhashya) translated by S. Sitarama Sastri
Who knows good-looking youth! the undecaying Âtman, into which the knowing self with alt the Dêvâs, such as fire and the rest, the Prânas, i.e., the eye and the rest and the Bhûtâs, such as the earth, etc., enter; he being omniscient enters, indeed, into all.
