Bṛhadāraṇyaka 2.2.1
(सर्वान्नब्राह्मणं वा शिशुब्राह्मणम्)
यो ह वै शिशुं साधानं सप्रत्याधानं सस्थूणं सदामं वेद सप्त ह द्विषतो भ्रातृव्यानवरुणद्धि ।
अयं वाव शिशुर्योऽयं मध्यमः प्राणः ।
तस्येदमेवाधानमिदं प्रत्याधानं प्राणः स्थूणान्नं दाम ॥ २.२.१ ॥
The brāhmaṇa on all food, or the brāhmaṇa on the infant. Whoever knows the infant with its fastening, its counter-fastening, its post and its rope, obstructs seven hateful rivals. This infant is truly this middle breath (prāṇa). Its fastening is this, its counter-fastening is prāṇa; the post is food, and the rope too.
Bṛhadāraṇyaka 2.2.2
तमेताः सप्ताक्षितय उपतिष्ठन्ते ।
तद्या इमा अक्षंल्लोहिन्यो राजयस्ताभिरेनं रुद्रोऽन्वायत्तः ।
अथ या अक्षन्नापस्ताभिः पर्जन्यः ।
या कनीनका तयादित्यः ।
यत्कृष्णं तेनाग्निर् ।
यच्छुक्लं तेनेन्द्रः ।
अधरयैनं वर्तन्या पृथिव्यन्वायत्ता ।
द्यौरुत्तरया ।
नास्यान्नं क्षीयते य एवं वेद ॥ २.२.२ ॥
Seven eye-dwellings (akṣitayaḥ) stand near him. By the reddish streaks in the eye, Rudra is bound to him. Then by the waters in the eye, Parjanya (the rain-god). By the pupil, the sun (Āditya). By what is dark, fire (Agni). By what is white, Indra. By the lower eyelid the earth is bound to him, by the upper the sky. For one who knows this, his food does not diminish.
Bṛhadāraṇyaka 2.2.3
तदेष श्लोको भवति
अर्वाग्बिलश्चमस ऊर्ध्वबुध्नस्तस्मिन् यशो निहितं विश्वरूपम् ।
तस्यासत ऋषयः सप्त तीरे वागष्टमी ब्रह्मणा संविदानेति ।
अर्वाग्बिलश्चमस ऊर्ध्वबुध्न इति ।
इदं तच्छरीर एष ह्यर्वाग्बिलश्चमस ऊर्ध्वबुध्नः ।
तस्मिन् यशो निहितं विश्वरूपमिति ।
प्राणा वै यशो विश्वरूपम् ।
प्राणानेतदाह ।
तस्यासत ऋषयः सप्त तीर इति ।
प्राणा वा ऋषयः ।
प्राणाणेतदाह ।
वागष्टमी ब्रह्मणा संविदानेति ।
वाग्घ्यष्टमी ब्रह्मणा संवित्ते ॥ २.२.३ ॥
On this there is a verse: the cup with its hole below and its base above, in which the glory of all forms is placed. On its shore seven seers sit, and the eighth, speech, is in agreement with brahman. 'The cup with its hole below and its base above' — this is the body, for this is that cup. 'In it the glory of all forms is placed' — the breaths are the glory and all forms, so he speaks of the breaths. 'On its shore seven seers sit' — the breaths are the seers, so he speaks of the breaths. 'The eighth, speech, is in agreement with brahman' — speech is the eighth, and it is in agreement with brahman.
Bṛhadāraṇyaka 2.2.4
इमावेव गोतमभरद्वाजौ ।
अयमेव गोतमोऽयं भरद्वाजः ।
इमावेव विश्वामित्रजमदग्नी ।
अयमेव विश्वामित्रोऽयं जमदग्निः ।
इमावेव वसिष्ठकश्यपौ ।
अयमेव वसिष्ठोऽयं कश्यपः ।
वागेवात्रिः ।
वाचा ह्यन्नमद्यते ।
अत्तिर्ह वै नामैतद्यदौत्रिरिति ।
सर्वस्यात्ता भवति ।
सर्वमस्यान्नं भवति य एवं वेद ॥ २.२.४ ॥
These two are indeed Gautama and Bharadvāja. This one is Gautama, this one is Bharadvāja. These two are Viśvāmitra and Jamadagni. This one is Viśvāmitra, this one is Jamadagni. These two are Vasiṣṭha and Kaśyapa. This one is Vasiṣṭha, this one is Kaśyapa. Speech itself is Atri. For by speech food is eaten. 'Atti' is indeed the name, which is called 'Autri'. He becomes the eater of all. For one who knows this, all food becomes his.
