The thirteen / Chāndogya Upanishad / Adhyāya 2 · Khaṇḍa 15

CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 2.15.1

अभ्राणि संप्लवन्ते स हिङ्कारः ।
मेघो जायते स प्रस्तावः ।
वर्षति स उद्गीथः ।
विद्योतते स्तनयति स प्रतिहारः ।
उद्गृह्णाति तन् निधनम् ।
एतद् वैरूपं पर्जन्ये प्रोतम् ॥

abhrāṇi saṃplavante sa hiṅkāraḥ ।
megho jāyate sa prastāvaḥ ।
varṣati sa udgīthaḥ ।
vidyotate stanayati sa pratihāraḥ ।
udgṛhṇāti tan nidhanam ।
etad vairūpaṃ parjanye protam ॥

The mists gather, that is the hiṅkâra; the cloud has risen, that is the prastâva; it rains, that is the udgîtha; it flashes and thunders, that is the pratihâra; it stops, that is the nidhana. That is the Vairûpa Sâman, as interwoven in Parganya, the god of rain.
