Chāndogya 2.22.1
विनर्दि साम्नो वृणे पशव्यमित्यग्नेरुद्गीथोऽनिरुक्तः प्रजापतेर्निरुक्तः सोमस्य मृदु श्लक्ष्णं वायोः श्लक्ष्णं बलवदिन्द्रस्य क्रौञ्चं बृहस्पतेरपध्वान्तं वरुणस्य तान्सर्वानेवोपसेवेत वारुणं त्वेव वर्जयेत् ॥ २.२२.१ ॥
'I choose the Vinardi sāman, which brings cattle': this is Agni's udgītha, which is unspoken; Prajāpati's udgītha is spoken; Soma's is soft and smooth; Vāyu's is smooth and strong; Indra's is the krauñca; Bṛhaspati's dispels darkness; Varuṇa's. One should resort to all of these, but should indeed avoid Varuṇa's.
Chāndogya 2.22.2
अमृतत्वं देवेभ्य आगायानीत्यागायेत्स्वधां पितृभ्य आशां मनुष्येभ्यस्तृणोदकं पशुभ्यः स्वर्गं लोकं यजमानायान्नमात्मन आगायानीत्येतानि मनसा ध्यायन्नप्रमत्तः स्तुवीत ॥ २.२२.२ ॥
'I will sing immortality for the gods' — thus one should sing; svadhā for the fathers, hope for humans, grass and water for animals, the heavenly world for the sacrificer, food for oneself — 'I will sing' each; meditating on these with the mind, one should chant attentively.
Chāndogya 2.22.3
सर्वे स्वरा इन्द्रस्यात्मानः सर्व ऊष्माणः प्रजापतेरात्मानः सर्वे स्पर्शा मृत्योरात्मानस्तं यदि स्वरेषूपालभेतेन्द्रꣳशरणं प्रपन्नोऽभूवं स त्वा प्रति वक्ष्यतीत्येनं ब्रूयात् ॥ २.२२.३ ॥
All vowels are the selves of Indra, all sibilants and aspirates are the selves of Prajāpati, all stop consonants are the selves of death. If someone reproaches him among the vowels, he should say to him: 'I have taken refuge in Indra; he will answer you.'
Chāndogya 2.22.4
अथ यद्येनमूष्मसूपालभेत प्रजापतिꣳशरणं प्रपन्नोऽभूवं स त्वा प्रति पेक्ष्यतीत्येनं ब्रूयादथ यद्येनꣳ स्पर्शेषूपालभेत मृत्युꣳ शरणं प्रपन्नोऽभूवं स त्वा प्रति धक्ष्यतीत्येनं ब्रूयात् ॥ २.२२.४ ॥
Then, if someone reproaches him among the sibilants and aspirates, he should say to him: 'I have taken refuge in Prajāpati; he will look upon you.' And if someone reproaches him among the stop consonants, he should say to him: 'I have taken refuge in death; it will burn you.'
Chāndogya 2.22.5
सर्वे स्वरा घोषवन्तो बलवन्तो वक्तव्या इन्द्रे बलं ददानीति सर्व ऊष्माणोऽग्रस्ता अनिरस्ता विवृता वक्तव्याः प्रजापतेरात्मानं परिददानीति सर्वे स्पर्शा लेशेनानभिनिहिता वक्तव्या मृत्योरात्मानं परिहराणीति ॥ २.२२.५ ॥
All vowels should be uttered voiced and strong, saying: 'I give strength to Indra.' All sibilants and aspirates should be uttered unobstructed, not swallowed, not cast out, open, saying: 'I surrender my self to Prajāpati.' All stop consonants should be uttered slightly, not fully pressed, saying: 'I avert my self from death.'
