Chāndogya 1.2.1
देवासुरा ह वै यत्र संयेतिरे उभये प्राजापत्यास्तद्ध देवा उद्गीथमाजह्रुरनेनैनानभिभविष्याम इति ॥ १.२.१ ॥
The gods and the demons, both descended from Prajāpati, contended with each other. Then the gods took up the udgītha (sacred sound), thinking, 'By this we shall overcome them.'
Chāndogya 1.2.2
ते ह नासिक्यं प्राणमुद्गीथमुपासांचक्रिरे तꣳ हासुराः पाप्मना विविधुस्तस्मात्तेनोभयं जिघ्रति सुरभि च दुर्गन्धि च पाप्मना ह्येष विद्धः ॥ १.२.२ ॥
They worshipped the breath (prāṇa) in the nose as the udgītha. The demons pierced it with evil; therefore by it one smells both the fragrant and the foul, for it is pierced by evil.
Chāndogya 1.2.3
अथ ह वाचमुद्गीथमुपासांचक्रिरे ताꣳ हासुराः पाप्मना विविधुस्तस्मात्तयोभयं वदति सत्यं चानृतं च पाप्मना ह्येषा विद्धा ॥ १.२.३ ॥
Then indeed they meditated on speech as the udgītha. The asuras pierced it with evil. Therefore by it one speaks both truth and falsehood, for this speech is pierced by evil.
Chāndogya 1.2.4
अथ ह चक्षुरुद्गीथमुपासांचक्रिरे तद्धासुराः पाप्मना विविधुस्तस्मात्तेनोभयं पश्यति दर्शनीयं चादर्शनीयं च पाप्मना ह्येतद्विद्धम् ॥ १.२.४ ॥
Then indeed they meditated on the eye as the udgītha. The asuras pierced it with evil. Therefore by it one sees both what is to be seen and what is not to be seen, for this eye is pierced by evil.
Chāndogya 1.2.5
अथ ह श्रोत्रमुद्गीथमुपासांचक्रिरे तद्धासुराः पाप्मना विविधुस्तस्मात्तेनोभयꣳ शृणोति श्रवणीयं चाश्रवणीयं च पाप्मना ह्येतद्विद्धम् ॥ १.२.५ ॥
Then indeed they meditated on hearing as the udgītha. The asuras pierced it with evil. Therefore by it one hears both what is to be heard and what is not to be heard, for this hearing is pierced by evil.
Chāndogya 1.2.6
अथ ह मन उद्गीथमुपासांचक्रिरे तद्धासुराः पाप्मना विविधुस्तस्मात्तेनोभयꣳ संकल्पते संकल्पनीयं चासंकल्पनीयं च पाप्मना ह्येतद्विद्धम् ॥ १.२.६ ॥
Then indeed they meditated on the mind as the udgītha. The asuras pierced it with evil. Therefore by it one resolves both what is to be resolved upon and what is not to be resolved upon, for this mind is pierced by evil.
Chāndogya 1.2.7
अथ ह य एवायं मुख्यः प्राणस्तमुद्गीथमुपासांचक्रिरे तꣳ हासुरा ऋत्वा विदध्वंसुर्यथाश्मानमाखणमृत्वा विध्वꣳ सेतैवम् ॥ १.२.७ ॥
Now, they meditated upon this chief breath as the udgītha. The asuras, having struck against it, were destroyed, as a clod of earth shatters when it strikes a stone.
Chāndogya 1.2.8
यथाश्मानमाखणमृत्वा विध्वꣳ सत एवꣳ हैव स विध्वꣳसते य एवंविदि पापं कामयते यश्चैनमभिदासति स एषोऽश्माखणः ॥ १.२.८ ॥
Just as a clod of earth, striking a stone, is shattered, so too he who desires evil for one who knows thus, or who attacks him, is shattered in the same way. This is the example of the stone and the clod.
Chāndogya 1.2.9
नैवैतेन सुरभि न दुर्गन्धि विजानात्यपहतपाप्मा ह्येष तेन यदश्नाति यत्पिबति तेनेतरान्प्राणानवति एतमु एवान्ततोऽवित्त्वोत्क्रमति व्याददात्येवान्तत इति ॥ १.२.९ ॥
By this, he does not perceive fragrance or foul odor, for this is free from evil; by whatever it eats and drinks, it sustains the other breaths. Not knowing this at the end, when he departs, he opens his mouth wide—thus at the end.
Chāndogya 1.2.10
तꣳ हाङ्गिरा उद्गीथमुपासाञ्चक्र एतमु एवाङ्गिरसं मन्यन्तेऽङ्गानां यद्रसः ॥ १.२.१० ॥
Aṅgiras meditated upon this very udgītha. People consider it Āṅgirasa, because it is the essence of the limbs.
Chāndogya 1.2.11
तेन तꣳ ह बृहस्पतिरुद्गीथमुपासञ्चक्र एतमु एव बृहस्पतिं मन्यन्ते वाग्घि बृहती तस्या एष पतिः ॥ १.२.११ ॥
By that, Bṛhaspati meditated upon this udgītha. People indeed consider this very one to be Bṛhaspati, for speech is the great (bṛhatī), and this is its lord.
Chāndogya 1.2.12
तेन तꣳ हायास्य उद्गीथमुपासाञ्चक्र एतमु एवायास्यं मन्यन्त आस्याद्यदयते ॥ १.२.१२ ॥
By that, Āyāsya meditated upon this udgītha. People indeed consider this very one to be Āyāsya, for it is what goes forth from the mouth.
Chāndogya 1.2.13
तेन तꣳ ह बको दाल्भ्यो विदाञ्चकार । स ह नैमिशीयानामुद्गाता बभूव स ह स्मैभ्यः कामानागायति ॥ १.२.१३ ॥
By that, Dālbhya Baka knew it. He became the chanter (udgātā) of the Naimiśa people, and for them he obtained desires by singing.
Chāndogya 1.2.14
आगाता ह वै कामानां भवति य एतदेवं विद्वानक्षरमुद्गीथमुपास्त इत्यध्यात्मम् ॥ १.२.१४ ॥
One who, knowing this, meditates on the imperishable udgītha becomes indeed one who obtains desires. This is the teaching concerning the self (adhyātmam).
