CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 5.6.1

पृथिवी वाव गौतमाग्निः ।
तस्याः सम्वत्सर एव समित् ।
आकाशो धूमः ।
रात्रिर् अर्चिः ।
दिशो ऽङ्गाराः ।
अवान्तरदिशो विस्फुलिङ्गाः ॥

pṛthivī vāva gautamāgniḥ ।
tasyāḥ samvatsara eva samit ।
ākāśo dhūmaḥ ।
rātrir arciḥ ।
diśo ’ṅgārāḥ ।
avāntaradiśo visphuliṅgāḥ ॥

'The altar is the earth, O Gautama; its fuel is the year itself, the smoke the ether, the light the night, the coals the quarters, the sparks the intermediate quarters.

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