Aitareya 1.3.1
स ईक्षतेमे नु लोकाश्च लोकपालाश्चान्नमेभ्यः सृजा इति ॥ १.३.१ ॥
He reflected: "Now these are the worlds and the guardians of the worlds; for these I shall create food."
Aitareya 1.3.2
सोऽपोऽभ्यतपत्ताभ्योऽभितप्ताभ्यो मूर्तिरजायत । या वै सा मूर्तिरजायतान्नं वै तत् ॥ १.३.२ ॥
He brooded over the waters; from the heated waters a form (mūrti) was born. That form which was born is indeed food (anna).
Aitareya 1.3.3
तदेनत्सृष्टं पराङ्त्यजिघांसत्तद्वाचाऽजिघृक्षत् तन्नाशक्नोद्वाचा ग्रहीतुम् । स यद्धैनद्वाचाऽग्रहैष्यदभिव्याहृत्य हैवान्नमत्रप्स्यत् ॥ १.३.३ ॥
That created thing turned away and sought to leave him; he tried to seize it by speech, but he could not seize it by speech. Had he seized it by speech, he would have been satisfied with food merely by speaking.
Aitareya 1.3.4
तत्प्राणेनाजिघृक्षत् तन्नाशक्नोत्प्राणेन ग्रहीतुम् । स यद्धैनत्प्राणेनाग्रहैष्यदभिप्राण्य हैवान्नमत्रप्स्यत् ॥ १.३.४ ॥
He desired to seize it by breath, but he was not able to seize it by breath. Had he seized it by breath, he would indeed have been satisfied with food by breathing upon it.
Aitareya 1.3.5
तच्चक्षुषाऽजिघृक्षत् तन्नाशक्नोच्चक्षुषा ग्रहीतुम् । स यद्धैनच्चक्षुषाऽग्रहैष्यद्दृष्ट्वा हैवानमत्रप्स्यत् ॥ १.३.५ ॥
He desired to seize it by sight, but he was not able to seize it by sight. Had he seized it by sight, he would indeed have been satisfied with food by seeing it.
Aitareya 1.3.6
तच्छ्रोत्रेणाजिघृक्षत् तन्नाशक्नोच्छ्रोत्रेण ग्रहीतुम् । स यद्धैनच्छ्रोत्रेणाग्रहैष्यच्छ्रुत्वा हैवान्नमत्रप्स्यत् ॥ १.३.६ ॥
He desired to seize it by hearing, but he was not able to seize it by hearing. Had he seized it by hearing, he would indeed have been satisfied with food by hearing it.
Aitareya 1.3.7
तत्त्वचाऽजिघृक्षत् तन्नाशक्नोत्त्वचा ग्रहीतुम् । स यद्धैनत्त्वचाऽग्रहैष्यत् स्पृष्ट्वा हैवान्नमत्रप्स्यत् ॥ १.३.७ ॥
He desired to seize it by touch (skin), but he was not able to seize it by touch. Had he seized it by touch, he would indeed have been satisfied with food by touching it.
Aitareya 1.3.8
तन्मनसाऽजिघृक्षत् तन्नाशक्नोन्मनसा ग्रहीतुम् । स यद्धैनन्मनसाऽग्रहैष्यद्ध्यात्वा हैवान्नमत्रप्स्यत् ॥ १.३.८ ॥
It desired to grasp it with the mind, but it could not grasp it with the mind. Had it grasped it with the mind, it would have been satisfied with food merely by reflecting.
Aitareya 1.3.9
तच्छिश्नेनाजिघृक्षत् तन्नाशक्नोच्छिश्नेन ग्रहीतुम् । स यद्धैनच्छिश्नेनाग्रहैष्यद्वित्सृज्य हैवानमत्रप्स्यत् ॥ १.३.९ ॥
It desired to grasp it with the organ of generation, but it could not grasp it with the organ of generation. Had it grasped it with the organ of generation, it would have been satisfied with food by releasing it.
Aitareya 1.3.10
तदपानेनाजिघृक्षत् तदावयत् सैषोऽन्नस्य ग्रहो यद्वायुरनायुर्वा एष यद्वायुः ॥ १.३.१० ॥
It desired to grasp it with the downward breath, and it seized it. That is the grasp of food, which is air. Indeed this air is without life, since it is air.
Aitareya 1.3.11
स ईक्षत कथं न्विदं मदृते स्यादिति स ईक्षत कतरेण प्रपद्या इति । स ईक्षत यदि वाचाऽभिव्याहृतं यदि प्राणेनाभिप्राणितं यदि चक्षुषा दृष्टं यदि श्रोत्रेण श्रुतं यदि त्वचा स्पृष्टं यदि मनसा ध्यातं यद्यपानेनाभ्यपानितं यदि शिश्नेन विसृष्टमथ कोऽहमिति ॥ १.३.११ ॥
He reflected: "How indeed could this exist without me?" He reflected: "By which path should I enter?" He reflected: "If it is spoken by speech, breathed by breath, seen by the eye, heard by the ear, touched by the skin, thought by the mind, breathed out by the downward breath, discharged by the organ of generation—then who am I?"
Aitareya 1.3.12
स एतमेव सीमानं विदर्यैतया द्वारा प्रापद्यत । सैषा विदृतिर्नाम द्वास्तदेतन्नाऽन्दनम् । तस्य त्रय आवसथास्त्रयः स्वप्ना अयमावसथोऽयमावसथोऽयमावसथ इति ॥ १.३.१२ ॥
He split open this very seam and entered by this gate. This gate is called vidṛti, and it is nandana. It has three abodes (āvasatha) and three dream-states. 'This is an abode, this is an abode, this is an abode.'
Aitareya 1.3.13
स जातो भूतान्यभिव्यैख्यत् किमिहान्यं वावदिषदिति । स एतमेव पुरुषं ब्रह्म ततममपश्यत् । इदमदर्शनमिती ३ ॥ १.३.१३ ॥
Born, he looked around at the beings: 'Who here could speak of anything else?' He saw this very person as brahman, most pervasive. 'I have seen this' — iti.
Aitareya 1.3.14
तस्मादिदन्द्रो नामेदन्द्रो ह वै नाम तमिदन्द्रं सन्तमिन्द्र इत्याचक्षते परोक्षेण । परोक्षप्रिया इव हि देवाः परोक्षप्रिया इव हि देवाः ॥ १.३.१४ ॥
Therefore this is called Idandra; the name is truly Indra. This Indra, though he is himself, is called 'Indra' indirectly. The gods love the indirect; the gods truly love the indirect.
