CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 3.15.2

तस्य प्राची दिग् जुहूर् नाम ।
सहमाना नाम दक्षिणा ।
राज्ञी नाम प्रतीची ।
सुभूता नामोदीची ।
तासां वायुर् वत्सः ।
स य एतम् एवं वायुं दिशां वत्सं वेद न पुत्ररोदं रोदिति ।
सो ऽहम् एतम् एवं वायुं दिशां वत्सं वेद ।
मा पुत्ररोदं रुदम् ॥

tasya prācī dig juhūr nāma ।
sahamānā nāma dakṣiṇā ।
rājñī nāma pratīcī ।
subhūtā nāmodīcī ।
tāsāṃ vāyur vatsaḥ ।
sa ya etam evaṃ vāyuṃ diśāṃ vatsaṃ veda na putrarodaṃ roditi ।
so ’ham etam evaṃ vāyuṃ diśāṃ vatsaṃ veda ।
mā putrarodaṃ rudam ॥

Its eastern quarter is called Guhû, its southern Sahamânâ, its western Râgñî, its northern Subhûtâ. The child of those quarters is Vâyu, the air, and he who knows that the air is indeed the child of the quarters, never weeps for his sons. 'I know the wind to be the child of the quarters, may I never weep for my sons.'

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