CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 8.14.1

आकाशो वै नाम नामरूपयोर् निर्वहिता ।
ते यदन्तरा तद् ब्रह्म तद् अमृतं स आत्मा ।
प्रजापतेः सभां वेश्म प्रपद्ये यशो ऽहं भवामि ब्राह्मणानां यशो राज्ञाम् यशो विशाम् ।
यशो ऽहम् अनुप्रापत्सि ।
स हाहं यशसां यशः ।
श्येतम् अदत्कम् अदत्कं श्येतं लिन्दु माभिगां लिन्दु माभिगाम् ॥

ākāśo vai nāma nāmarūpayor nirvahitā ।
te yadantarā tad brahma tad amṛtaṃ sa ātmā ।
prajāpateḥ sabhāṃ veśma prapadye yaśo ’haṃ bhavāmi brāhmaṇānāṃ yaśo rājñām yaśo viśām ।
yaśo ’ham anuprāpatsi ।
sa hāhaṃ yaśasāṃ yaśaḥ ।
śyetam adatkam adatkaṃ śyetaṃ lindu mābhigāṃ lindu mābhigām ॥

He who is called ether (âkâsa) is the revealer of all forms and names. That within which these forms and names are contained is the Brahman, the Immortal, the Self. I come to the hall of Pragâpati, to the house; I am the glorious among Brahmans, glorious among princes, glorious among men. I obtained that glory, I am glorious among the glorious. May I never go to the white, toothless, yet devouring, white abode; may I never go to it.

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