BRIHADARANYAKA UPANISHAD NOUN

BrihadArUpa3 4 Yajnavalkya said he, since all this is overtaken by day and night, and swayed by them, by what means does the sacrificer go beyond the clutches of day and night Through the eye through the Sun, which is the (real) priest called Adhvaryu. The eye of the sacrificer is the Adhvaryu. This eye is the Sun; this Sun is the Adhvaryu; this Sun() is liberation; this (liberation) is emancipation
BrihadArUpa3 8 Yajnavalkya said he, how many kinds of oblations will the Adhvaryu offer in this sacrifice to day Three Which are those three Those that blaze up on being offered, those that make a great noise, when offered, and those that sink on being offered What does he win through them? Through those that blaze up on being offered he wins the world of the Devas, for this world shines, as it were. Through those that make a great noise, when offered, he wins the world of the Pitris, for this world is full of uproar. And through those that sink on being offered, he wins the human world, for this world is lower.
BrihadArUpa6 4 Then he touches the paste saying, You move (as the vital force), you burn (as fire), you are infinite (as Brahman), you are still (as the Sky). You combine everything in yourself. You are the sound Him and are uttered as Him (in the sacrifice by the Prastotr). You are the Udgitha and are chanted (by the Udgatr). You are recited (by the Adhvaryu) and recited back (by the Agnidhra). You are fully ablaze in a humid (cloud). You are omnipresent, and master. You are food (as the Moon), and light (as fire). You are death, and you are that in which all things merge
