CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 5.17.1

अथ होवाचोद्दालकम् आरुणिम् ।
गौतम कं त्वम् आत्मानम् उपस्स इति ।
पृथिवीम् एव भगवो राजन्न् इति होवाच ।
एष वै प्रतिष्ठात्मा वैश्वानरो यं त्वम् आत्मानम् उपास्से ।
तस्मात् त्वं प्रतिष्ठितो ऽसि प्रजया च पशुभिश् च ॥

atha hovācoddālakam āruṇim ।
gautama kaṃ tvam ātmānam upassa iti ।
pṛthivīm eva bhagavo rājann iti hovāca ।
eṣa vai pratiṣṭhātmā vaiśvānaro yaṃ tvam ātmānam upāsse ।
tasmāt tvaṃ pratiṣṭhito ’si prajayā ca paśubhiś ca ॥

Then he said to Auddâlaka Âruni: 'O Gautama, whom do you meditate on as the Self?' He replied: 'The earth only, venerable king.' He said: 'The Self which you meditate on is the Vaisvânara Self, called Pratishthâ (firm rest). Therefore you stand firm with offspring and cattle.
