The thirteen / Chāndogya Upanishad / Adhyāya 5 · Khaṇḍa 7

CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 5.7.1

पुरुषो वाव गौतमाग्निः ।
तस्य वाग् एव समित् ।
प्राणो धूमः ।
जिह्वार्चिः ।
चक्षुर् अङ्गाराः ।
श्रोत्रं विस्फुलिङ्गाः ॥

puruṣo vāva gautamāgniḥ ।
tasya vāg eva samit ।
prāṇo dhūmaḥ ।
jihvārciḥ ।
cakṣur aṅgārāḥ ।
śrotraṃ visphuliṅgāḥ ॥

'The altar is man, O Gautama; its fuel speech itself, the smoke the breath, the light the tongue, the coals the eye, the sparks the ear.

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