Chāndogya Upaniṣad 3.19

3.19.1

ādityo brahmety ādeśaḥ \
tasyopavyākhyānam \
asad evedam agra āsīt \
tat sad āsīt \
tat samabhavat \
tad āṇḍaṃ niravartata \
tat saṃvatsarasya mātrām aśayata \
tan nirabhidyata \
te āṇḍakapāle rajataṃ ca suvarṇaṃ cābhavatām \\319.1\

1. The sun is Brahma—this is the teaching. A further explanation thereof [is as follows].

In the beginning this world was merely non-being. It was existent. It developed. It turned into an egg. It lay for the period of a year. It was split asunder. One of the two eggshell-parts became silver, one gold.

3.19.2

tad yad rajataṃ seyaṃ pṛthivī \
yat suvarṇaṃ sā dyauḥ \
yaj jarāyu te parvatāḥ \
yad ulbaṃ () samegho nīhāraḥ \
yā dhamanayas tā nadyaḥ \
yad vāsteyam udakaṃ sa samudraḥ \\319.2\

2. That which was of silver is this earth. That which was of gold is the sky. What was the outer membrane is the mountains. What was the inner membrane is cloud and mist. What were the veins are the rivers. What was the fluid within is the ocean. 3. Now, what was born therefrom is yonder sun. When it was born, shouts and hurrahs, all beings and all desires rose up toward it. Therefore at its rising and at its every return shouts and hurrahs, all beings and all desires rise up toward it.

3.19.3

atha yat tad ajāyata so 'sāv ādityaḥ \
taṃ jāyamānaṃ ghoṣā ulūlavo 'nūdatiṣṭhant sarvāṇi ca bhūtāni sarve ca kāmāḥ \
tasmāt tasyodayaṃ prati pratyāyanaṃ prati ghoṣā ulūlavo anūttiṣṭhanti sarvāṇi ca bhūtāni sarve ca kāmāḥ \\319.3\

3.19.4

sa ya etam evaṃ vidvān ādityaṃ brahmety upāste \
abhyāśo ha yad enaṃ sādhavo ghoṣā ā ca gaccheyur upa ca nimreḍeran nimreḍeran \\319.4\

4. He who, knowing it thus, reverences the sun as Brahma—the prospect is that pleasant shouts will come unto him and delight him—yea, delight him!
