CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 5.15.1

अथ होवाच जनं शार्कराक्ष्यम् ।
शार्कराक्ष्य कं त्वम् आत्मानम् उपास्स इति ।
आकाशम् एव भगवो राजन्न् इति होवाच ।
एष वै बहुल आत्मा वैश्वानरो यं त्वम् आत्मानम् उपस्से ।
तस्मात् त्वं बहुलो ऽसि प्रजया च धनेन च ॥

atha hovāca janaṃ śārkarākṣyam ।
śārkarākṣya kaṃ tvam ātmānam upāssa iti ।
ākāśam eva bhagavo rājann iti hovāca ।
eṣa vai bahula ātmā vaiśvānaro yaṃ tvam ātmānam upasse ।
tasmāt tvaṃ bahulo ’si prajayā ca dhanena ca ॥

Then he said to Gana Sârkarâkshya: 'Whom do you meditate on as the Self?' He replied: 'Ether only, venerable king.' He said: 'The Self which you meditate on is the Vaisvânara Self, called Bahula (full). Therefore you are full of offspring and wealth.
