8.13.1

śyāmāc chabalaṃ prapadye \
śabalāc chyāmaṃ prapadye \
aśva iva romāṇi vidhūya pāpaṃ candra iva rāhor mukhāt pramucya dhūtvā śarīram akṛtaṃ kṛtātmā brahmalokam abhisaṃbhavāmīty abhisaṃbhavāmīti \\813.1\

From the dark I attain to the variegated, from the variegated I attain to the dark. Shaking off evil as a horse his hairs, shaking off the body as the moon frees itself from the mouth of Rāhu, I, having fulfilled all ends, obtain the eternal Brahman-world—yea, I obtain it.

Swami Swahananda 1956, The Chāndogya Upaniṣad
