CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD NOUN

ChandogyaUpa1	3 Now, verily one should meditate on Vyana as Udgitha. That which one breathes out is Prana and that which one breathes in is Apana. The junction of Prana and Apana is Vyana. That which is Vyana, even that is speech. Therefore, one utters speech while one neither breathes out nor breathes in.
ChandogyaUpa3	3 And (he who is in) that which is the western door of this (heart), is Apana. He is speech, he is fire. This Brahman( called Apana) should be meditated upon as the holy effulgence born of sacred wisdom and as the source of food. He who meditates thus becomes radiant with the holy effulgence born of sacred wisdom and also an eater of food.
ChandogyaUpa5	1 Then, when he offers the third oblation, he should offer it with the Mantra Svaha to Apana thereby Apana is satisfied.
ChandogyaUpa5	2 Apana being satisfied, speech is satisfied; speech being satisfied, fire is satisfied; fire being satisfied, the Earth is satisfied; the Earth being satisfied, whatever is under the Earth and fire is satisfied. Through its satisfaction the eater himself is satisfied. (He is satisfied) also with offspring, cattle, food, lustre and the holy effulgence born of sacred wisdom.
