CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 4.5.2

ब्रह्मणश् च ते पादं ब्रवाणि इति ।
ब्रवीतु मे भगवान् इति ।
तस्मै होवाच ।
प्राची दिक् कला ।
प्रतिची दिक् कला ।
दक्षिणा दिक् कला ।
उदीची दिक् कला ।
एष वै सोम्य चतुष्कलः पादो ब्रह्मणः प्रकाशवान् नाम ॥

brahmaṇaś ca te pādaṃ bravāṇi iti ।
bravītu me bhagavān iti ।
tasmai hovāca ।
prācī dik kalā ।
praticī dik kalā ।
dakṣiṇā dik kalā ।
udīcī dik kalā ।
eṣa vai somya catuṣkalaḥ pādo brahmaṇaḥ prakāśavān nāma ॥

'And I will declare to you one foot of Brahman.' 'Declare it, Sir,' he replied. He said to him: 'The eastern region is one quarter, the western region is one quarter, the southern region is one quarter, the northern region is one quarter. This is a foot of Brahman, consisting of the four quarters, and called Prakâsavat (endowed with splendour).
