CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 4.6.3

ब्रह्मणः सोम्य ते पादं ब्रवाणीति ।
ब्रवीतु मे भगवान् इति ।
तस्मै ह उवाच ।
पृथिवी कला ।
अन्तरिक्षं कला ।
द्यौः कला ।
समुद्रः कला ।
एष वै सोम्य चतुष्कलः पादो ब्रह्मणो ऽनन्तवान् नाम ॥

brahmaṇaḥ somya te pādaṃ bravāṇīti ।
bravītu me bhagavān iti ।
tasmai ha uvāca ।
pṛthivī kalā ।
antarikṣaṃ kalā ।
dyauḥ kalā ।
samudraḥ kalā ।
eṣa vai somya catuṣkalaḥ pādo brahmaṇo ’nantavān nāma ॥

Agni said: 'Friend, I will declare unto you one foot of Brahman.' 'Declare it, Sir,' he replied. He said to him: 'The earth is one quarter, the sky is one quarter, the heaven is one quarter, the ocean is one quarter. This is a foot of Brahman, consisting of four quarters, and called Anantavat (endless).'
