3.10.1

atha yat pañcamam amṛtaṃ tat sādhyā upajīvanti brahmaṇā mukhena \
na vai devā aśnanti na pibanti \
etad evāmṛtaṃ dṛṣṭvā tṛpyanti \\310.1\

1. Now, the Sādhyas live upon what is the fifth nectar [i. e. the Upanishads] through Brahma as their mouth. Verily, the gods neither eat nor drink. They are satisfied merely with seeing that nectar.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

3.10.2

ta etad eva rūpam abhisaṃviśanti \
etasmād rūpād udyanti \\310.2\

2. These enter that form [which seems to tremble in the middle of the sun] and come forth from that form.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

3.10.3

sa ya etad evam amṛtaṃ veda sādhyānām evaiko bhūtvā brahmaṇaiva mukhenaitad evāmṛtaṃ dṛṣṭvā tṛpyati \
sa etad eva rūpam abhisaṃviśati \
etasmād rūpād udeti \\310.3\

3. He who knows thus that nectar becomes one of the Sādhyas themselves and through Brahma as his mouth is satisfied merely with seeing that nectar. He enters that very form and comes forth from that form.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

3.10.4

sa yāvad āditya uttarata udetā dakṣiṇato 'stam etā dvis tāvad ūrdhvam udetārvāg astam etā sādhyānām eva tāvad ādhipatyaṃ svārājyaṃ paryetā \\310.4\

4. As long as the sun shall rise in the north and set in the south, twice so long will it rise in the zenith and set in the nadir, and just that long will he compass the overlordship and the chief sovereignty of the Sādhyas.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
