CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD NOUN
ChandogyaUpa1 | 3 Just as a fisherman would see a fish in Water, so did Death observe the Devas in the (rites connected with) Rik, Saman and Yajus. They, too, knowing this, arose from the Rik, Saman and Yajus, and entered the Svara (the syllable Aum). |
ChandogyaUpa2 | 5,6 He who, knowing this Saman thus (as good), meditates on the Seven fold Saman, which has all its parts similar and which leads beyond death, reaches the sun Death() by the number twenty one; for, counting from this world the yonder sun is verily the twenty first. With the remaining twenty second syllable he conquers the world beyond the sun. That world is of the nature of bliss, and is free from misery. (That is), he obtains victory over the sun, and then a victory still higher becomes his, who meditates on the Seven fold Saman. |
ChandogyaUpa2 | 3 All vowels are the embodiments of Indra; all sibilants are the embodiments of Prajapati; all Sparsa consonants are the embodiments of Death. If anyone should reprove him for the pronunciation of his vowels, he should tell him, I have taken my refuge in Indra; he will answer you. |
ChandogyaUpa2 | 4 And if some one should reprove him for sibilants he should tell him, I have taken my refuge in Prajapati; he will crush you And if some one should reprove him for his Sparsa consonants, he should tell him, I have taken my refuge in Death; he will burn you up. |
ChandogyaUpa2 | 5 All vowels should be pronounced sonant and strong, (with the thought), May I impart strength to Indra Prana() All sibilants should be pronounced, neither inarticulately, nor leaving out the elements of sound, but distinctly (with the thought), May I give myself to Prajapati Virat(). All Sparsa consonants should be pronounced slowly, without mixing them with any other letter, (with the thought), May I withdraw myself from Death. |
