Chāndogya 2.18.1
अजा हिङ्कारोऽवयः प्रस्तावो गाव उद्गीथोऽश्वाः प्रतिहारः पुरुषो निधनमेता पशुषु प्रोताः ॥ २.१८.१ ॥
The goat is the hiṅkāra, the sheep the prastāva, the cows the udgītha, the horses the pratihāra, and the human being the nidhana. These are strung through the animals.
Chāndogya 2.18.2
स य एवमेता रेवत्यः पशुषु प्रोता वेद पशुमान्भवति सर्वमायुरेति ज्योग्जीवति महान्प्रजया पशुभिर्भवति महान्कीर्त्या पशून्न निन्देत्तद्व्रतम् ॥ २.१८.२ ॥
Whoever knows these wealth-giving parts strung through the animals in this way becomes rich in cattle, attains the full span of life, lives long, becomes great through offspring, great through animals, and great through fame. One should not revile animals; that is the vow.
