The thirteen / Chāndogya Upanishad / Adhyāya 2 · Khaṇḍa 17

CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 2.17.1

पृथिवी हिङ्कारः ।
अन्तरिक्षं प्रस्तावः ।
द्यौर् उद्गीथः ।
दिशः प्रतिहारः ।
समुद्रो निधनम् ।
एताः शक्वर्यो लोकेषु प्रोताः ॥

pṛthivī hiṅkāraḥ ।
antarikṣaṃ prastāvaḥ ।
dyaur udgīthaḥ ।
diśaḥ pratihāraḥ ।
samudro nidhanam ।
etāḥ śakvaryo lokeṣu protāḥ ॥

The hiṅkâra is the earth, the prastâva the sky, the udgîtha heaven, the pratihâra the regions, the nidhana the sea. These are the Sakvarî Sâmans, as interwoven in the worlds.

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 1 (1879)
