Bṛhadāraṇyaka 1.1.1
उषा वा अश्वस्य मेध्यस्य शिरः ।
सूर्यश्चक्षुर्वातः प्राणो व्यात्तमग्निर्वैश्वानरः संवत्सर आत्माश्वस्य मेध्यस्य ।
द्यौः पृष्ठमन्तरिक्षमुदरं पृथिवी पाजस्यं दिशः पार्श्वे अवान्तरदिशः पर्शव ऋतवोऽङ्गानि मासाश्चार्धमासाश्च पर्वाण्यहोरात्राणि प्रतिष्ठा नक्षत्राण्यस्थीनि नभो मांसानि ।
ऊवध्यं सिकताः सिन्धवो गुदा यकृच्च क्लोमानश्च पर्वता ओषधयश्च वनस्पतयश्च लोमानि ।
उद्यन् पूर्वार्धो निम्लोचञ्जघनार्धः ।
यद्विजृम्भते तद्विद्योतते ।
यद्विधूनुते तत्स्तनयति ।
यन्मेहति तद्वर्षति ।
वागेवास्य वाक् ॥ १.१.१ ॥
Dawn is indeed the head of this sacrificial horse. The sun is its eye, the wind its breath, the open mouth is the fire Vaiśvānara, and the year is the ātman of this sacrificial horse. The sky is its back, the atmosphere its belly, the earth the base of its chest, the quarters its flanks, the intermediate quarters its ribs, the seasons its limbs, the months and fortnights its joints, day and night its foundation, the stars its bones, the sky its flesh. The lower belly is the sand, the rivers its entrails, the liver and lungs the mountains, and herbs and trees its hair. When it rises, its front half rises; when it sets, its hind half sets. When it yawns, lightning flashes; when it shakes itself, it thunders; when it urinates, it rains. Speech is indeed its voice.
Bṛhadāraṇyaka 1.1.2
अहर्वा अश्वं पुरस्तान्महिमान्वजायत ।
तस्य पूर्वे समुद्रे योनिः ।
रात्रिरेनं पश्चान्महिमान्वजायत ।
तस्यापरे समुद्रे योनिर् ।
एतौ वा अश्वं महिमानावभितः सम्बभूवतुः ।
हयो भूत्वा देवानवहद्वाजी गन्धर्वानर्वासुरानश्वो मनुष्यान् ।
समुद्र एवास्य बन्धुः समुद्रो योनिः ॥ १.१.२ ॥
Day indeed was born before this horse with its glory; its source is the eastern sea. Night was born behind it with its glory; its source is the western sea. These two glories indeed arose on either side of the horse. Becoming a steed, it carried the gods; becoming a racehorse, the gandharvas; becoming a swift horse, the asuras; and as a horse, it carried humans. The sea is indeed its kinsman; the sea is its source.
