Chānd san, ca. B.C. 600, Prapāṭhaka, khaṇḍa, verse 8,14.1ākāśo 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 ||
Chānd-Mül, 1879-841. FOURTEENTH KHANDA
He who is called ether (akasa) 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 Pragapati, 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.
