CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD NOUN

ChandogyaUpa1 7 Heaven is ut, the sky is gi, the Earth is tha. The sun is ut, the air gi, the fire, tha. The Sama Veda is ut, the Yajur Veda gi, the Rig Veda tha. For him, speech yields the milk which is the benefit of speech. And he becomes rich in food; and an eater of food, who knows thus and meditates on the syllables of Udgitha namely, ut, gi and tha.
ChandogyaUpa3 2,3 The eastern rays of that sun are its eastern honey cells; the Riks are the bees, (the ritual of) the Rig Veda is the flower and those Waters are the nectar. Those very Riks (the bees) pressed this Rig Veda. From it, thus pressed, issued forth as juice, fame, splendour (of limbs), (alertness of) the senses, virility, and food for eating.
ChandogyaUpa3 7 Then, when I said, I take refuge in Svah I said only this I take refuge in the Rig Veda, I take refuge in the Yajur Veda, I take refuge in the Sama Veda yea, that was what I said.
ChandogyaUpa7 2 Revered sir, I know the Rig Veda, the Yajur Veda, the Sama Veda and the Atharvanas the fourth, the Itihasa Purana as the fifth, grammar, the rules for the worship of the ancestors, mathematics, the science of portents, the science of treasures, logic, the science of ethics, etymology, the ancillary knowledge of the Vedas, the physical sciences, the science of war, the science of the stars, the science related to serpents, and the fine arts all this I know, revered sir.
ChandogyaUpa7 4 Name indeed is Rig Veda, (so also) Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and the Atharvana as the fourth, the Itihasa Purana as the fifth, grammar, the rules of the worship of the ancestors, mathematics, the science of portents, the science of treasures, logic, the science of ethics, etymology, the ancillary knowledge of the Vedas, the physical science, the science of war, the science of the stars, the science related to serpents, and the fine arts name alone is all this. Worship the name.
ChandogyaUpa7 1 Speech surely is greater than name. Speech indeed makes us understand the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, Atharvana as the fourth, Itihasa Purana as the fifth, grammar, the rules of the worship of the ancestors, mathematics, the science of portents, the science of treasures, logic, the science of ethics, etymology, the ancillary knowledge of the Vedas, the physical science, the science of war, the science of the stars, the science related to serpents, and the fine arts also Heaven and Earth, air and Akasa, Water and fire, Devas and men, cattle and birds, grasses and trees, beasts down to worms, flying insects and ants, merit and demerit, true and false, good and bad, pleasant and unpleasant. Verily, if speech did not exist, neither merit nor demerit would be understood, neither true nor false, neither good nor bad, neither pleasant nor unpleasant. Speech alone makes us understand all this. Hence() worship speech.
ChandogyaUpa7 1 Understanding surely is greater than contemplation. By understanding alone one understands the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, Atharvana as the fourth, Itihasa Purana as the fifth, grammar, the rules for the worship of the ancestors; mathematics, the science of portents, the science of treasures, logic, the Vedas, the physical science, the science of war, the science of the stars, the science related to serpents, and the fine arts also Heaven and Earth, air and Akasa, Water and fire, Devas and men, cattle and birds, grasses and trees, beasts down to worms, flying insects and ants, merit and demerit, true and false, good and bad, pleasant and unpleasant, food and drink, this world and the next (all this) one understands by understanding alone. Worship understanding.
