UPANISHAD NOUN

Taittariya	1.3.2,3,4: Vayu is the link. This is the meditation with regard to the worlds. Then follows the meditation with regard to the shining things. Agni is the first letter. The Sun is the last letter. Water is the rallying point. Lightning is the link. This is the meditation with regard to the shining things. Then follows the meditation with regard to Knowledge. The teacher is the first letter. The student is the last letter. Knowledge is the meeting place. Instruction is the link. This is the meditation with regard to knowledge. Then follows the meditation with regard to Progeny. The Mother is the first letter. The Father is the last letter. The Progeny is the focal point. Generation is the link. This is the meditation with regard to progeny. Then follows the meditation with regard to the (individual) body. The lower jaw is the first letter. The upper jaw is the last letter. Speech is the meeting place. The tongue is the link. This is the meditation with regard to the (individual) body. These are the great juxtapositions. Anyone who meditates on these great juxtapositions, as they are explained, becomes conjoined with progeny, animals, the splendour of holiness, edible food, and the heavenly world.
Taittariya	2.5.1: Knowledge actualises a sacrifice, and it executes the duties as well. All the gods meditate on the first born Brahman, conditioned by knowledge. If one knows the knowledge Brahman, and if one does not err about it, one abandons all sins in the body and fully enjoys all enjoyable things.
Mundaka	1.1.2: The Knowledge of Brahman that Brahma imparted to Atharva, Atharva transmitted to Angir in days of yore. He Angir() passed it on to Satyavaha of the line of Bharadvaja. He of the line of Bharadvaja handed down to Angiras this knowledge that had been received in succession from the higher by the lower ones.
