Then the king said to Uddālaka Āruṇi, 'O Gautama, what is that Ātman on which you meditate?' He replied, 'The earth only, O venerable king.' The king said, 'This that you meditate upon as Ātman is the Vaiśvānara Ātman known as "the foundation". Therefore are you well-founded in offspring and cattle.
