‘Kapila’ says: ‘It is of the nature of pleasure—nurtured, dissolved—by whom the world is pervaded. “Priti” is pleasure, “sukham” is happiness, “kamananda” is sensual joy’—thus in nomenclature; and: ‘prāṇa is Brahman, kaṁ is Brahman, khaṁ is Brahman’ (Chhāndogya Upaniṣad 4.10.5). Also: ‘The seer Praśūta begot Kapila; he is borne forward by former knowledges; and one who sees the arising [and] knows’ (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 5.2). In the Bābhṛvya branch of the Sāma-Veda they cite that deity Kapila as the one by whom, from endless pleasure, the world is maintained and dissolved.
