Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.17

Then breath (vital), by singing, obtained for himself eatable food. For whatever food is eaten, is eaten by breath alone, and in it breath rests. The Devas said: 'Verily, thus far, whatever food there is, thou hast by singing acquired it for thyself. Now therefore give us a share in that food.' He said: 'You there, enter into me.' They said Yes, and entered all into him. Therefore whatever food is eaten by breath, by it the other senses are satisfied.

In plain words: By its singing, the breath also won food for itself, because all food is eaten through the breath. The other powers asked for a share, so the breath invited them to enter it. That is why, when the breath takes in food, all the senses are fed too.
