The thirteen / Chāndogya Upanishad / Adhyāya 3 · Khaṇḍa 15

CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 3.15.1

अन्तरिक्षोदरः कोशो भूमिबुध्नो न जीर्यति ।
दिशो ह्य् अस्य स्रक्तयो द्यौर् अस्योत्तरं बिलम् ।
स एष कोशो वसुधानस् तस्मिन् विश्वम् इदं श्रितम् ॥

antarikṣodaraḥ kośo bhūmibudhno na jīryati ।
diśo hy asya sraktayo dyaur asyottaraṃ bilam ।
sa eṣa kośo vasudhānas tasmin viśvam idaṃ śritam ॥

The chest which has the sky for its circumference and the earth for its bottom, does not decay, for the quarters are its sides, and heaven its lid above. That chest is a treasury, and all things are within it.

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