1. ELEVENTH KHANDA
When from thence he has risen upwards, he neither rises nor sets. He is alone, standing in the centre. And on this there is this verse: 
kṛtvaivamudayāstamanena prāṇināṃ svakarmaphalabhoganimittamanugrahaṃ tatkarmaphalopabhogakṣaye tāni prāṇijātānyātmani saṃhṛtyātha tatastasmādanantaraṃ prāṇyanugrahakālādūrdhvaḥ sannātmanyudetyodgamya yānpratyudeti teṣāṃ prāṇināmabhāvātsvātmastho naivodetā nāstametaikalo ’dvitīyo ’navayavo madhye svātmanyeva sthātā | tatra kaścidvidvānvasvādisamānacaraṇo rohitādyamṛtabhogabhāgī yathoktakrameṇa svātmānaṃ savitāramātmatvenopetya samāhitaḥ sannetaṃ mantraṃ dṛṣṭvotthito ’nyasmai pṛṣṭavate jagāda | yatastvamāgato brahmalokātkiṃ tatrāpyahorātrābhyāṃ parivartamānaḥ savitā prāṇināmāyuḥ kṣapayati yathehāsmākamityevaṃ pṛṣṭaḥ pratyāha | tattatra yathā pṛṣṭe yathokte cārtha eṣa śloko bhavati tanokto yogineti śrutervacanamidam || 1 ||

2. 'Yonder he neither rises nor sets at any time. If this is not true, ye gods, may I lose Brahman.'

3. And indeed to him who thus knows this Brahma-upanishad (the secret doctrine of the Veda) the sun does not rise and does not set. For him there is day, once and for all. 
satyaṃ tenoktamityāha śrutiḥ-na ha vā asmai yathoktabrahmavide nodeti na nimlocati nāstameti kiṃ tu brahmavide ’smai sakṛddivā haiva sadaivāharbhavati svayañjyotiṣṭvādya etāṃ yathoktāṃ brahmopaniṣadaṃ vedaguhyaṃ veda | evaṃ tantreṇa vaṃśāditrayaṃ pratyamṛtasambandhaṃ ca yaccānyadavocāmaivaṃ jānātītyarthaḥ | vidvānudayāstamayakālāparicchedyaṃ nityamajaṃ brahma bhavatītyarthaḥ || 3 ||

4. This doctrine (beginning with III, I, 1) Brahman (m. Hiranyagarbha) told to Pragapati (Virig), Pragipati to Manu, Manu to his offspring (Ikshvaku, &c.) And the father told that (doctrine of) Brahman (n.) to Uddalaka Aruni. 
taddhaitanmadhujñānaṃ brahmā hiraṇyagarbho virāje prajāpataya uvāca | so ’pi manave | manurikṣvākvādyābhyaḥ prajābhyaḥ provāceti vidyāṃ stauti brahmādiviśiṣṭakramāgateti | kiṃ ca taddhaitanmadhujñānamuddālakāyā’ruṇaye pitā 
idaṃ vāva taj jyeṣṭhāya putrāya pitā brahma prabrūyāt praṇāyyāya vāntevāsine ||

. 
5. A father may therefore tell that doctrine of Brahman to his eldest son, or to a worthy pupil.
But no one should tell it to anybody else, even if he gave him the whole sea-girt earth, full of treasure, for this doctrine is worth more than that, yea, it is worth more.

1. TWELFTH KHANDA
The Gayatri (verse) is everything whatsoever here exists. Gayatri indeed is speech, for speech sings forth (gaya-ti) and protects (traya-te) everything that here exists.
