5.1.1
— pūrṇamadaḥ pūrṇamidaṃ pūrṇātpūrṇamudacyate pūrṇasya pūrṇamādāya pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate — khaṃ brahma khaṃ purāṇam vāyuraṃ khamiti ha smāha kauravyāyaṇīputro vedo'yaṃ brāhmaṇā vidurvedainena yadveditavyam
Om. That (Brahman) is infinite, and this (universe) is infinite. The infinite proceeds from the infinite. (Then) taking the infinitude of the infinite (universe), it remains as the infinite (Brahman) alone.
Om is the ether-Brahman—the eternal ether. ‘The ether containing air,’ says the son of Kauravyâyaṇi. It is the Veda, (so) the Brâhmaṇas (knowers of Brahman) know; (for) through it one knows what is to be known.
