UPANISHAD NOUN

Katha 1.1.3. Water has been drunk (for the last time by these Cows), grass has been eaten (for the last time); they have yielded all their milk, and are devoid of (the power of) the organs. Those worlds are indeed joyless where he goes who offers these.
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 3.8.1: His vow is that he should not discard food. Water, indeed, is food; fire is the eater; for water is established on fire. Agni( is food and water is the eater, for) fire resides in water. Thus one food is lodged in another food. He who knows thus that one food is lodged in another, gets firmly established. He becomes a possessor and an eater of food. He becomes great in progeny, cattle, and the lustre of holiness and great in glory.
Aitareya 1.1.4: He deliberated with regard to Him (i.e. Virat of the human form). As He (i.e. Virat) was being deliberated on, His (i.e. Virat mouth parted, just as an egg does. From the mouth emerged speech; from speech came Agni. The nostrils parted; from the nostrils came out the sense of smell; from the sense of smell came Vayu (air). The two eyes parted; from the eyes emerged the sense of sight; from the sense of sight came the Sun. The two ears parted; from the ears came the sense of hearing; from the sense of hearing came the Directions. The skin emerged; from the skin came out hair (i.e. the sense of touch associated with hair); from the sense of touch came the Herbs and Trees. The heart took shape; from the heart issued the internal organ (mind); from the internal organ came the Moon. The navel parted; from the navel came out the organ of ejection; from the organ of ejection issued Death. The seat of the procreative organ parted; from that came the procreative organ; from the procreative organ came out Water.
Aitareya 1.2.4: Agni entered into the mouth taking the form of the organ of speech; Vayu entered into the nostrils assuming the form of the sense of smell; the Sun entered into the eyes as the sense of sight; the Directions entered into the ears by becoming the sense of hearing; the Herbs and Trees entered into the skin in the form of hair (i.e. the sense of touch); the Moon entered into the heart in the shape of the mind; Death entered into the navel in the form of Apana (i.e. the vital energy that presses down); Water entered into the limb of generation in the form of semen (i.e. the organ of procreation).
