CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD NOUN

ChandogyaUpa2 1 Of the Samans, I choose the one that bellows, as it were, and is good for cattle, thus (some think). This is the loud singing sacred to Agni, the undefined one to Prajapati, the defined one to Soma, the soft and smooth to Vayu, the smooth and strong to Indra, the heron like to Brihaspati, and the ill sounding to Varuna. Verily, one may practise all these, but should avoid the one sacred to Varuna.
ChandogyaUpa3 1 And that which is the fourth nectar (i.e. the deep black colour), that verily the Maruts enjoy with Soma as their leader. The Devas, indeed, neither eat nor drink; only with seeing this nectar are they satisfied.
ChandogyaUpa3 3 He who knows thus this nectar becomes one of the Maruts, and with Soma as the leader is satisfied only with seeing this nectar.
ChandogyaUpa5 2 Into this fire the deities offer the oblation of faith. Out of that oblation King Soma arises.
ChandogyaUpa5 2 Into this fire the deities offer the oblation of King Soma. Out of that oblation rain arises.
ChandogyaUpa5 4 From the months, (they go) to the region of the fathers, from the region of the fathers to Akasa, from Akasa to the moon. This (i.e. this moon) is King Soma (the king of the Brahmanas). This is the food of the deities. This the deities eat.
ChandogyaUpa5 1 O Aupamanyava, what is the Atman on which you meditate He replied, Heaven only, O venerable king The king said, This that you meditate upon as Atman is the Vaisvanara Atman known as "the highly luminous". Therefore in your family are seen the Suta, Prasuta and Asuta libations of Soma juice.
