BRIHADARANYAKA UPANISHAD NOUN

BrihadArUpa1	28 Now therefore the edifying repetition Adhyaroha() only of the hymns called Pavamanas. The priest called Prastotir indeed recites the Saman. While he recites it, these Mantras are to be repeated From evil lead me to good. From darkness lead me to light. From death lead me to immortality. When the Mantra says, From evil lead me to good evil means death, and good immortality; so it says, From death lead me to immortality, i.e. make me immortal When it says, From darkness lead me to light darkness means death, and light immortality; so it says, From death lead me to immortality, or make me immortal In the dictum, From death lead me to immortality the meaning does not seem to be hidden. Then through the remaining hymns (the chanter) should secure eatable food for himself by chanting. Therefore, while they are being chanted, the sacrificer should ask for a boon anything that he desires. Whatever objects this chanter possessed of such knowledge desires, either for himself or for the sacrificer, he secures them by chanting. This (meditation) certainly wins the world Hiranyagarbha(). He who knows the Saman (vital force) as such has not to pray lest he be unfit for this world.
BrihadArUpa2	16 This is that meditation on things mutually helpful which Dadhyac, versed in the Atharva Veda, taught the Asvins. Perceiving this the Rishi Mantra() said, O Asvins in human form, that terrible deed called Damsa which you committed out of greed, I will disclose as a cloud does rain (how you learnt) the meditation on things mutually helpful that Dadhyac, versed in the Atharva Veda, taught you through a Horse s head.
BrihadArUpa5	7 Its salutation: O Gayatri, thou art one footed, two footed, there footed and four footed, and thou art without any feet, for thou art unattainable. Salutation to thee, the fourth, apparently visible, supramundane foot May the enemy never attain his object (Should the knower of the Gayatri) bear hatred towards anybody, (he should) either (use this Mantra) Such and such way his desired object never flourish! in which case that object of the person against whom he thus salutes the Gayatri, never flourishes or (he may say), May I attain that (cherished object) of his!
BrihadArUpa6	2 Do you know how these people diverge after death No said he. Do you know how they return to this world No said he. Do you know how the other world is never filled by so many people dying thus again and again No said he. Do you know after how many oblations are offered water (the liquid offerings) rises up possessed of a human voice (or under the name of man) and speaks No said he. Do you know the means of access to the way of the Devas, or that to the way of the Pitris (manes) doing which people attain either the way of the Devas or the way of the Pitris We have heard the words of the Mantra I have heard of two routes for men, leading to the Pitris (manes) and the Devas (gods). Going along them all this is united. They lie between the father and the mother Earth( and Heaven)." He said, I know not one of them
BrihadArUpa6	6 If man sees his reflection in water, he should recite the following Mantra (May the Devas grant) me lustre, manhood, reputation, wealth and merits She (his Wife) is indeed the goddess of beauty among Women. Therefore he should approach this handsome Woman and speak to her.
BrihadArUpa6	7 If she is not willing, he should buy her over; and if she is still unyielding, he should strike her with a stick or with the hand and proceed, uttering the following Mantra, I take away your reputation etc. She is then actually discarded.
BrihadArUpa6	8 If she is willing, he should proceed, uttering the following Mantra I transmit reputation into you and they both become reputed.
