5.12.1

aupamanyava kaṃ tvam ātmānam upāssa iti \
divam eva bhagavo rājann iti hovāca \
eṣa vai sutejā ātmā vaiśvānaro yaṃ tvam ātmānam upāsse \
tasmāt tava sutaṃ prasutam āsutaṃ kule dṛśyate \\512.1\

'O Aupamanyava, what is the Ātman on which you meditate?' He replied, 'Heaven only, O venerable king.' The king said, 'This that you meditate upon as Ātman is the Vaiśvānara Ātman known as "the highly luminous". Therefore in your family are seen the Suta, Prasuta and Āsuta libations of Soma-juice.
