PRAŚNA UPANISHAD · 1.11

पञ्चपादं पितरं द्वादशाकृतिं
दिव आहुः परे अर्धे पुरीषिणम् ।
अथेमे अन्य उ परे विचक्षणं
सप्तचक्रे षडर आहुरर्पितमिति ॥ १.११॥

pañcapādaṃ pitaraṃ dvādaśākṛtiṃ
diva āhuḥ pare ardhe purīṣiṇam ।
atheme anya u pare vicakṣaṇaṃ
saptacakre ṣaḍara āhurarpitamiti ॥ 1.11॥

“‘Five-portioned, some say, is the Father and hath twelve figures and he floweth in the upper hemisphere beyond the heavens; but others speak of him as the Wisdom who standeth in a chariot of six spokes and seven wheels.’

Sri Aurobindo · CWSA 18, p. 178
