11.7.1
ब्रह्मचारीष्णंश्चरति रोदसी उभे तस्मिन् देवाः संमनसो भवन्ति ।
स दाधार पृथिवीं दिवं च स आचार्यं तपसा पिपर्ति ॥ ११.७.१ ॥
The celibate student, heated, moves through both worlds; in him the gods become of one mind. He upholds earth and sky, and by austerity he fills the teacher.
11.7.2
ब्रह्मचारिणं पितरो देवजनाः पृथग्देवा अनुसंयन्ति सर्वे ।
गन्धर्वा एनमन्वायन् त्रयस्त्रिंशत्त्रिशताः षट्सहस्राः सर्वान्त्स देवांस्तपसा पिपर्ति ॥ ११.७.२ ॥
The forefathers and the divine folk follow the celibate student, and all the separate gods. The Gandharvas followed him — three hundred and thirty-three, and six thousand. By austerity he fills all the gods.
11.7.3
आचार्य उपनयमानो ब्रह्मचारिणं कृणुते गर्भमन्तः ।
तं रात्रीस्तिस्र उदरे बिभर्ति तं जातं द्रष्टुमभिसंयन्ति देवाः ॥ ११.७.३ ॥
The teacher, bringing him near, makes the celibate student an embryo within; for three nights he carries him in his womb. When he is born, the gods come together to see him.
11.7.4
इयं समित्पृथिवी द्यौर्द्वितीयोतान्तरिक्षं समिधा पृणाति ।
ब्रह्मचारी समिधा मेखलया श्रमेण लोकांस्तपसा पिपर्ति ॥ ११.७.४ ॥
This earth is the kindling, the sky is the second, and with fuel it fills the middle air. The celibate student, with fuel, with the girdle, with toil, fills the worlds by austerity.
11.7.5
पूर्वो जातो ब्रह्मणो ब्रह्मचारी घर्मं वसानस्तपसोदतिष्ठत् ।
तस्माज्जातं ब्राह्मणं ब्रह्म ज्येष्ठं देवाश्च सर्वे अमृतेन साकम् ॥ ११.७.५ ॥
The celibate student, first born of Brahman, wearing the garment of heat, rose up by austerity. From him the Brahmin born, Brahman, is the eldest; and all the gods are together with immortality.
11.7.6
ब्रह्मचार्येति समिधा समिद्धः कार्ष्णं वसानो दीक्षितो दीर्घश्मश्रुः ।
स सद्य एति पूर्वस्मादुत्तरं समुद्रं लोकान्त्संगृभ्य मुहुराचरिक्रत् ॥ ११.७.६ ॥
The celibate student, kindled with kindling-sticks, wearing a black antelope skin, consecrated, long-bearded, immediately goes from the former to the northern ocean, gathering the worlds and moving about again and again.
11.7.7
ब्रह्मचारी जनयन् ब्रह्मापो लोकं प्रजापतिं परमेष्ठिनं विराजम् ।
गर्भो भूत्वामृतस्य योनाविन्द्रो ह भूत्वासुरांस्ततर्ह ॥ ११.७.७ ॥
The celibate student, generating Brahman, the waters, the world, Prajāpati, the supreme Parameṣṭhin and Virāj, becoming an embryo in the womb of immortality, becoming Indra, overcame the demons.
11.7.8
आचार्यस्ततक्ष नभसी उभे इमे उर्वी गम्भीरे पृथिवीं दिवं च ।
ते रक्षति तपसा ब्रह्मचारी तस्मिन् देवाः संमनसो भवन्ति ॥ ११.७.८ ॥
The teacher fashioned these two skies — the wide and deep earth and heaven. The celibate student protects them by ascetic heat; in him the gods become of one mind.
11.7.9
इमां भूमिं पृथिवीं ब्रह्मचारी भिक्षामा जभार प्रथमो दिवं च ।
ते कृत्वा समिधावुपास्ते तयोरार्पिता भुवनानि विश्वा ॥ ११.७.९ ॥
The celibate student, being first, brought this earth, the wide earth and heaven as alms. Making them two kindling-sticks he attends to them; in them all worlds are placed.
11.7.10
अर्वागन्यः परो अन्यो दिवस्पृष्ठाद्गुहा निधी निहितौ ब्राह्मणस्य ।
तौ रक्षति तपसा ब्रह्मचारी तत्केवलं कृणुते ब्रह्म विद्वान् ॥ ११.७.१० ॥
One on this side, another beyond the back of heaven — the two treasures of the Brahman are placed hidden in a cave. The celibate student protects both by ascetic heat; the knowing one alone makes that Brahman manifest.
11.7.11
अर्वागन्य इतो अन्यः पृथिव्या अग्नी समेतो नभसी अन्तरेमे ।
तयोः श्रयन्ते रश्मयोऽधि दृढास्तान् आ तिष्ठति तपसा ब्रह्मचारी ॥ ११.७.११ ॥
One is here on this side, the other beyond the earth. The two fires meet between the two heavens; firm rays rest upon them. The brahmacārin upholds them by austerity.
11.7.12
अभिक्रन्दन् स्तनयन्न् अरुणः शितिङ्गो बृहच्छेपोऽनु भूमौ जभार ।
ब्रह्मचारी सिञ्चति सानौ रेतः पृथिव्यां तेन जीवन्ति प्रदिशश्चतस्रः ॥ ११.७.१२ ॥
Roaring and thundering, reddish and white-marked, with a great tail, it bore it away behind the earth. The brahmacārin pours seed upon the mountain-top; by it the four quarters live.
11.7.13
अग्नौ सूर्ये चन्द्रमसि मातरिश्वन् ब्रह्मचार्यप्सु समिधमा दधाति ।
तासामर्चींषि पृथगभ्रे चरन्ति तासामाज्यं पुरुषो वर्षमापः ॥ ११.७.१३ ॥
In fire, in the sun, in the moon, in Mātariśvan, the brahmacārin lays the kindling-stick in the waters. Their flames move apart in the clouds; their clarified butter is the Person, the rain and the waters.
11.7.14
आचार्यो मृत्युर्वरुणः सोम ओषधयः पयः ।
जीमूता आसन्त्सत्वानस्तैरिदं स्वराभृतम् ॥ ११.७.१४ ॥
The teacher is death, Varuṇa, Soma; the plants and milk. The thunder-clouds were the warriors; by them this heavenly light was brought.
11.7.15
अमा घृतं कृणुते केवलमाचार्यो भूत्वा वरुणः यद्यदैच्छत्प्रजापतौ ।
तद्ब्रह्मचारी प्रायच्छत्स्वान् मित्रो अध्यात्मनः ॥ ११.७.१५ ॥
With Amā, Varuṇa alone makes ghee, becoming a teacher; whatever he desired in Prajāpati, the brahmacārin gave to his own; Mitra from the self.
11.7.16
आचार्यो ब्रह्मचारी ब्रह्मचारी प्रजापतिः ।
प्रजापतिर्वि राजति विराडिन्द्रोऽभवद्वशी ॥ ११.७.१६ ॥
The teacher is the celibate student; the celibate student is Prajāpati. Prajāpati shines forth; Virāj became Indra, the controller.
11.7.17
ब्रह्मचर्येण तपसा राजा राष्ट्रं वि रक्षति ।
आचार्यो ब्रह्मचर्येण ब्रह्मचारिणमिच्छते ॥ ११.७.१७ ॥
By celibate discipline and austerity the king well protects the realm; the teacher by celibate discipline seeks a celibate student.
11.7.18
ब्रह्मचर्येण कन्या युवानं विन्दते पतिम् ।
अनड्वान् ब्रह्मचर्येणाश्वो घासं जिगीषति ॥ ११.७.१८ ॥
By celibate discipline a maiden obtains a young man as husband; by celibate discipline the ox and the horse seek to win fodder.
11.7.19
ब्रह्मचर्येण तपसा देवा मृत्युमपाघ्नत ।
इन्द्रो ह ब्रह्मचर्येण देवेभ्यः स्वराभरत् ॥ ११.७.१९ ॥
By celibate discipline and austerity the gods drove away death; Indra, by celibate discipline, indeed brought heaven, the light, for the gods.
11.7.20
ओषधयो भूतभव्यमहोरात्रे वनस्पतिः ।
संवत्सरः सह ऋतुभिस्ते जाता ब्रह्मचारिणः ॥ ११.७.२० ॥
Herbs, what has been and what will be, day and night, the forest tree, the year together with the seasons — all these were born as celibate students.
11.7.21
पार्थिवा दिव्याः पशव आरण्या ग्राम्याश्च ये ।
अपक्षाः पक्षिणश्च ये ते जाता ब्रह्मचारिणः ॥ ११.७.२१ ॥
Earthly and heavenly beings, cattle, wild and domestic animals, the wingless and the winged birds — all these were born as celibate students.
11.7.22
पृथक्सर्वे प्राजापत्याः प्राणान् आत्मसु बिभ्रति ।
तान्त्सर्वान् ब्रह्म रक्षति ब्रह्मचारिण्याभृतम् ॥ ११.७.२२ ॥
All the offspring of Prajāpati separately bear the breaths in their selves; Brahman, brought by the brahmacārin, protects them all.
11.7.23
देवानामेतत्परिषूतमनभ्यारूढं चरति रोचमानम् ।
तस्माज्जातं ब्राह्मणं ब्रह्म ज्येष्ठं देवाश्च सर्वे अमृतेन साकम् ॥ ११.७.२३ ॥
This is the purified radiance of the gods, moving unsubdued and shining; from it the brahmin born, Brahman, the eldest; and all the gods are with immortality together with it.
11.7.24
ब्रह्मचारी ब्रह्म भ्राजद्बिभर्ति तस्मिन् देवा अधि विश्वे समोताः ।
प्राणापानौ जनयन्न् आद्व्यानं वाचं मनो हृदयं ब्रह्म मेधाम् ॥ ११.७.२४ ॥
The brahmacārin bears the shining Brahman, in which all the gods are woven together; having produced the out-breath and in-breath, then the diffused breath, speech, mind, heart, Brahman, and wisdom.
11.7.25
चक्षुः श्रोत्रं यशो अस्मासु धेह्यन्नं रेतो लोहितमुदरम् ॥ ११.७.२५ ॥
Place eye, ear, and glory in us; food, seed, blood, and belly.
11.7.26
तानि कल्पन् ब्रह्मचारी सलिलस्य पृष्ठे तपोऽतिष्ठत्तप्यमानः समुद्रे ।
स स्नातो बभ्रुः पिङ्गलः पृथिव्यां बहु रोचते ॥ ११.७.२६ ॥
Forming these, the brahmacārin stood performing austerity on the surface of the waters, heated in the ocean. Bathed, tawny and reddish, he shines greatly on the earth.
