Chāndogya 2.15.1
अभ्राणि संप्लवन्ते स हिङ्कारो मेघो जायते स प्रस्तावो वर्षति स उद्गीथो विद्योतते स्तनयति स प्रतिहार उद्गृह्णाति तन्निधनमे पर्जन्ये प्रोतम् ॥ २.१५.१ ॥
The gathering of the clouds is the hiṅkāra, the cloud's arising the prastāva, its raining the udgītha, its flashing and thundering the pratihāra, and its drawing itself back the nidhana. All of this is strung upon the rain-god Parjanya.
Chāndogya 2.15.2
स य एवमेतद्वैरूपं पर्जन्ये प्रोतं वेद विरूपाꣳश्च सुरूपाꣳश्च पशूनवरुन्धे सर्वमायुरेति ज्योग्जीवति महान्प्रजया पशुभिर्भवति महान्कीर्त्या वर्षन्तं न निन्देत्तद्व्रतम् ॥ २.१५.२ ॥
He who thus knows this varied sāman strung upon Parjanya obtains cattle of diverse and beautiful forms; he attains a full span of life, lives long, becomes great through offspring and cattle, and great through fame. One should not revile the cloud that rains—this is the vow.
