Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

Oh, wonderful! Oh, wonderful! Oh, wonderful! (6) I am food! I am food! I am food! I am a food-eater! I am a food-eater! I am a food-eater! I am a fame-maker (_śloka-kṛt_)! I am a fame-maker!

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
