6.4.1

yad agne rohitaṃ rūpaṃ tejasas tad rūpam \
yac chuklaṃ tad apām \
yat kṛṣṇaṃ tad annasya \
apāgād agner agnitvam \
vācārambhaṇaṃ vikāro nāmadheyaṃ trīṇi rūpāṇīty eva satyam \\604.1\

1. Whatever red form fire has, is the form of heat; whatever white, the form of water; whatever dark, the form of food. The firehood has gone from fire: the modification is merely a verbal distinction, a name. The reality is just "the three forms."

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
