Taittariya	1.1.1: May Mitra be blissful to us. May Varuna be blissful to us. May Aryaman be blissful to us. May Indra and Brihaspati be blissful to us. May Vishnu, of long strides, be blissful to us. Salutation to Brahman. Salutation to you, O Vayu. You, indeed, are the immediate Brahman. You alone I shall call the direct Brahman. I shall call you righteousness. I shall call you truth.

Taittariya	1.4.1,2: The Aum that is the most exalted in the Vedas, that pervades all worlds, and that emerged from the immortal Vedas as their quintessence, may he Aum( that is Indra), the supreme Lord, gratify me with intelligence. O Lord, may I be the receptacle of immortality. May my body be fit; may my tongue be surpassingly sweet; may I hear much through the ears. You are the sheath of Brahman: you are covered by (worldly) wisdom. Protect what I have heard. Then vouchsafe to me who am her (i.e. Prosperity s) own, that Prosperity which brings, increases, and accomplishes quickly for me clothes, cattle, food, and drink for ever, and which is associated with furry and other animals. Svaha. May the Brahmacharins (i.e. students) come to me from all sides. Svaha. May the Brahmacharins come to me in various ways. Svaha. May the Brahmacharins come to me in the proper way. Svaha. May the Brahmacharins have physical self control. Svaha. May the Brahmacharins have mental self control. Svaha.

Taittariya	2.8.1,2,3,4: Out of His fear the Wind blows. Out of fear the Sun rises. Out of His fear runs Agni, as also Indra, and Death, the fifth.
Taittariya	Suppose there is a young man in the prime of life, good, learned, most expeditious, most strongly built, and most energetic. Suppose there lies this Earth for him filled with wealth. This will be one unit of human joy. If this human joy be multiplied a hundred times, it is one joy of the man Gandharvas, and so also of a follower of the Vedas unaffected by desires. If this joy of the man Gandharvas be multiplied a hundred times, it is one joy of the divine Gandharvas, and so also of a follower of the Vedas unaffected by desires. If the joy of the divine Gandharvas be increased a hundredfold, it is one joy of the manes whose world is everlasting, and so also of a follower of the Vedas unaffected by desires. If the joy of the manes that dwell in the everlasting world be increased a hundredfold, it is one joy of those that are born as gods in Heaven, and so also of a follower of the Vedas untouched by desires. If the joy of those that are born as gods in Heaven be multiplied a hundredfold, it is one joy of the gods called the Karma Devas, who reach the gods through Vedic rites, and so also of a follower of the Vedas unaffected by desires. If the joy of the gods, called the Karma Devas, be multiplied a hundredfold, it is one joy of the gods, and so also of a follower of the Vedas untarnished by desires. If the joy of the gods be increased a hundred times, it is one joy of Indra, and so also of a follower of the Vedas unaffected by desires. If the joy of Indra be multiplied a

Aitareya	3.1.3: This One is (the inferior) Brahman; this is Indra, this is Prajapati; this is all these gods; and this is these five elements, viz. Earth, air, Space, water, fire; and this is all these (big creatures), together with the small ones, that are the procreators of others and referable in pairs to wit, those that are born of eggs, of wombs, of moisture of the Earth, viz. Horses, Cattle, men, Elephants, and all the creatures that there are which move or fly and those which do not move. All these have Consciousness as the giver of their reality; all these are impelled by Consciousness; the universe has Consciousness as its eye and Consciousness is its end. Consciousness is Brahman.
Prashna	2.5: This one (i.e. Prana) burns as fire, this one is the Sun, this one is cloud, this one is Indra and air, this one is the Earth and food. This god is the gross and the subtle, as well as that which is Nectar.
Prashna	2.9: O Prana, you are Indra. Through your valour you are Rudra; and you are the preserver on all sides. You move in the Sky you are the Sun, the Lord of all luminaries.
