CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD NOUN
ChandogyaUpa1 | 1 Once upon a time the Devas and the Asuras, both descendants of Prajapati, were engaged in a fight. In that fight, the Devas performed the rites of the Udgatir priests resolving, With this we shall defeat them |
ChandogyaUpa1 | 13 Baka, the son of Dalbha, knew it thus. So he became the Udgatir singer of the sacrificers dwelling in Naimisa. For their sake he sang to fulfil their desires. |
ChandogyaUpa1 | 8,9 Similarly, through this person in the eye, one gets the worlds that are extended below this person, and also the desired objects of men. For this reason, the Udgatir priest who knows thus should ask (the sacrificer) What desire shall I obtain for you by singing the Saman For he alone becomes capable of obtaining desires by singing who knowing thus sings the Saman yea, sings the Saman. |
ChandogyaUpa1 | 10 In the same manner he addressed the Udgatir priest, O Udgatir, if you sing the Udgitha without knowing the deity that belongs to the Udgitha, your head will fall down |
ChandogyaUpa1 | 6 Then the Udgatir priest approached him and said, Revered sir, you said to me O Udgatir, if you sing the Udgitha without knowing the deity that belongs to the Udgitha, your head will fall down". Which is that deity |
ChandogyaUpa4 | 2,3 One of these Two paths, the Brahman priest embellishes with the mind. The Hotir, Adhvaryu and Udgatir priests embellish the other with speech. After the Prataranuvaka (the morning recitation) is commenced, and before the Paridhaniya Rik is begun, if the Brahman priest speaks out (breaking silence), then he embellishes only one path (viz. Speech) and the other is injured. Just as a man walking with one leg, or a Chariot moving with one wheel suffers injury, so also that sacrifice of this one suffers injury, and when the sacrifice suffers injury, the sacrificer also suffers injury. For having completed the (defective) sacrifice, he becomes a worse sinner. |
