The thirteen / Chāndogya Upanishad / Adhyāya 2 · Khaṇḍa 2

CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 2.2.2

अथावृत्तेषु ।
द्यौर् हिङ्कारः ।
आदित्यः प्रस्तावः ।
अन्तरिक्षम् उद्गीथः ।
अग्निः प्रतिहारः ।
पृथिवी निधनम् ॥

athāvṛtteṣu ।
dyaur hiṅkāraḥ ।
ādityaḥ prastāvaḥ ।
antarikṣam udgīthaḥ ।
agniḥ pratihāraḥ ।
pṛthivī nidhanam ॥

In a descending line, the hiṅkâra is heaven, the prastâva the sun, the udgîtha the sky, the pratihâra the fire, the nidhana the earth.

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