The thirteen / Chāndogya Upanishad / Adhyāya 2 · Khaṇḍa 2

CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 2.2.1

लोकेषु पञ्चविधं सामोपासीत ।
पृथिवी हिङ्कारः ।
अग्निः प्रस्तावः ।
अन्तरिक्षम् उद्गीथः ।
आदित्यः प्रतिहारः ।
द्यौर् निधनम् ।
इत्य् ऊर्ध्वेषु ॥

lokeṣu pañcavidhaṃ sāmopāsīta ।
pṛthivī hiṅkāraḥ ।
agniḥ prastāvaḥ ।
antarikṣam udgīthaḥ ।
ādityaḥ pratihāraḥ ।
dyaur nidhanam ।
ity ūrdhveṣu ॥

Let a man meditate on the fivefold Sâman as the five worlds. The hiṅkâra is, the earth, the prastâva the fire, the udgîtha the sky, the pratihâra the sun, the nidhana heaven; so in an ascending line.

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