Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

This lotus, assuredly, is the same as space. These four quarters of heaven and the four intermediate quarters are the form of its leaves.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

One should reverence them with the syllable _Om_ [§ 3-5], with the Mystic Utterances (_vyāhṛti_) [§ 6], and with the Sāvitrī Prayer [§ 7].
