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.

How many Devas are there, Yajnavalkya Yajnavalkya decided it through this (group of Mantras known as) Nivid (saying), As many as are indicated in the Nivid of the Visvadevas three hundred and three, and three thousand and three Very well said Sakalya, how many Devas exactly are there, Yajnavalkya Thirty three Very well said the other, how many Devas exactly are there, Yajnavalkya six Very well said Sakalya, how many Devas exactly are there, Yajnavalkya Three Very well said the other, how many Devas exactly are there, Yajnavalkya Two Very well said Sakalya, how many Devas exactly are there, Yajnavalkya One and a half Very well said Sakalya, how many Devas exactly are there, Yajnavalkya One Very well said Sakalya, which are those three hundred and three and three thousand and three
BrihadArUpa6	1 He who wishes to attain greatness (should perform) on an auspicious day in a fortnight in which the Moon waxes, and under a male constellation, during the northward march of the Sun, (a sacrifice in the following manner) He should undertake for twelve days a vow connected with the Upasads (i.e. live on Milk), collect in a cup of bowl made of fig wood all herbs and their grains, sweep and plaster (the ground), purify the offerings in the prescribed manner, interpose the Mantha (paste made of those things), and offer oblations with the following Mantras O Agni, to all those Devas under you, who spitefully frustrate men s desires, I offer their share.
