CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD NOUN

ChandogyaUpa1 2 Verily, the Devas, being afraid of death, took refuge in the Three Vedas. They covered themselves with the metrical hymns. Because they covered themselves with these, the metrical hymns are called Chandas.
ChandogyaUpa1 5 Now, this person who is seen within the eye he indeed is Rik, he is Saman, he is Uktha, he is Yajus, he is the Vedas. The form of this (person seen in the eye) is the same as the form of that (person seen in the sun). His joints are the same as those of the other; his name is the same as that of the other.
ChandogyaUpa1 1 Therefore next begins the Udgitha seen by the dogs. Once Dalbhya Baka, called also Maitreya Glava, went out (of the Village) for the study of the Vedas.
ChandogyaUpa2 1 The Three Vedas are Himkara; the Three worlds are Prastava; Agni, Vayu and the Sun are Udgitha; the Stars, the birds and the rays are Pratihara; the serpents, the celestial singers and the fathers are Nidhana. This is the collection of Samans woven in all things.
ChandogyaUpa3 4 Verily, these hues are the juice of the juices, for the Vedas are the essences and these are their essence. These hues indeed are the nectar of the nectars, for the Vedas are the nectar and these are their nectar.
ChandogyaUpa3 3 Verily, for him the sun neither rises nor sets. He who thus knows this secret of the Vedas, for him, there is perpetual day.
ChandogyaUpa4 3 He brooded on the Three Vedas. From them thus brooded upon, he extracted their existences; Bhuh from the Riks, Bhuvah from the Yajus mantras and Svah from the Samans.
ChandogyaUpa4 7,8 Just as one would join Gold with salt, silver with gold, tin with silver, lead with tin, iron with lead, wood with iron, and wood with leather, even so does (the Brahman priest) make good the injury of the sacrifice through the virility of these regions, of these deities, and of the Three Vedas. That sacrifice indeed is healed where there is a Brahman priest knowing thus.
ChandogyaUpa6 2,3 Having gone (to the teacher s house) when twelve years old, he came back when he was twenty Four old, having studied all the Vedas, conceited, arrogant and regarding himself as very learned. His father said to him, Svetaketu, dear boy, you, I see, are conceited, arrogant, regarding yourself as very learned; did you ask for that teaching (about the Supreme Brahman) through which what is unheard becomes heard, what is unthought becomes thought of, what is unknown becomes known Of what nature, revered sir, is that teaching
ChandogyaUpa6 3 The father said to him, Dear boy, just as a single ember of the size of a firefly, left over from a large burning fire, cannot burn any more than that, even so, dear boy, of your sixteen parts only one part is left over, now by means of that you cannot perceive the Vedas. Eat, then you will understand me
ChandogyaUpa6 5,6 The father said to him, Dear boy, just as when a single ember of the size of a firefly left over from a large burning fire, is made to blaze up by adding straw and it burns much more than before, even so, dear boy, of your sixteen parts, only one part remained, and that being nourished by food, has been made to blaze up; and by that you perceive the Vedas now. Hence, dear boy, the mind is made up of food, the Prana is made up of Water, and speech is made up of fire. From his words, Svetaketu() understood it yea, he understood it.
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.
