Chāndogya 2.19.1
लोम हिङ्कारस्त्वक्प्रस्तावो माꣳसमुद्गीथोस्थि प्रतिहारो मज्जा निधनमेमङ्गेषु प्रोतम् ॥ २.१९.१ ॥
The body hair is the hiṅkāra, the skin the prastāva, the flesh the udgītha, the bone the pratihāra, and the marrow the nidhana. These are strung through the limbs.
Chāndogya 2.19.2
स य एवमेतद्यज्ञायज्ञीयमङ्गेषु प्रोतं वेदाङ्गी भवति नाङ्गेन विहूर्छति सर्वमायुरेति ज्योग्जीवति महान्प्रजया पशुभिर्भवति महान्कीर्त्या संवत्सरं मज्ज्ञो नाश्नीयात्तद्व्रतं मज्ज्ञो नाश्नीयादिति वा ॥ २.१९.२ ॥
Whoever knows the Yajñāyajñīya sāman in this way, strung through the limbs, becomes whole in his limbs, is not deprived of any limb, attains the full span of life, lives long, and becomes great through offspring and fame. For one year one should not eat marrow; that is the vow. Or it is said: one should not eat marrow.
