May we both attain fame together. May spiritual pre-eminence be vouchsafed to both of us together.

Now, therefore, we shall state the meditation on juxtaposition through five categories—relating to the worlds, to the shining things, to knowledge, to progeny, and to the body. These, they call the great juxtapositions. Now then, as regards the meditation on the worlds. The earth is the first letter. Heaven is the last letter. The sky is the meeting-place.

Swami Gambhirananda 1957, Eight Upaniṣads, with the Commentary of Śaṅkarācārya
