The thirteen / Chāndogya Upanishad / Adhyāya 2 · Khaṇḍa 9

CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 2.9.4

अथ यत् संगववेलायां स आदिः ।
तद् अस्य वयांस्य् अन्वायत्तानि ।
तस्मात् तान्य् अन्तरिक्षे ऽनारम्भणान्य् आदायात्मानं परिपतन्ति ।
आदिभाजीनि ह्य् एतस्य साम्नः ॥

atha yat saṃgavavelāyāṃ sa ādiḥ ।
tad asya vayāṃsy anvāyattāni ।
tasmāt tāny antarikṣe ’nārambhaṇāny ādāyātmānaṃ paripatanti ।
ādibhājīni hy etasya sāmnaḥ ॥

What he is at the time of the saṅgava, that is the âdi, the first, the Om. On it birds are dependent. Therefore birds fly about in the sky without support, holding themselves, for they share the âdi (the Om) of that Sâman.
