Kaṭhopaniṣad 5.2

- **Language:** Sanskrit

### [5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.upanisad.mukhya.katha.5.2)

haṃsaḥ śuciṣad vasur antarikṣasad dhotā vediṣad atithir duroṇasat /  
nṛṣad varasad ṛtasad vyomasad abjā gojā ṛtajā adrijā ṛtaṃ bṛhat //

> As the moving (sun) He dwells in heaven, (as air) He pervades all and dwells in inter-space; as fire He resides on the earth; as Soma He stays in a jar; He lives among men; He lives among gods; He dwells in space; He is born in water; He takes birth from the earth; He is born in sacrifice; He emerges from the mountains; He is unchanging; and He is great.  
> — Swami Gambhirananda 1957, Eight Upaniṣads, with the Commentary of Śaṅkarācārya
