Chāndogya 2.23.1
त्रयो धर्मस्कन्धा यज्ञोऽध्ययनं दानमिति प्रथमस्तप एव द्वितीयो ब्रह्मचार्याचार्यकुलवासी तृतीयोऽत्यन्तमात्मानमाचार्यकुलेऽवसादयन्सर्व एते पुण्यलोका भवन्ति ब्रह्मसꣳस्थोऽमृतत्वमेति ॥ २.२३.१ ॥
There are three branches of dharma: sacrifice, study, and giving. The first is this; the second is austerity. The third is the celibate student who dwells in his teacher's household, utterly wearing away his own self in the teacher's household. All these attain worlds of merit; one established in brahman attains immortality.
Chāndogya 2.23.2
प्रजापतिर्लोकानभ्यतपत्तेभ्योऽभितप्तेभ्यस्त्रयी विद्या संप्रास्रवत्तामभ्यतपत्तस्या अभितप्ताया एतान्यक्षराणि संप्रास्र्वन्त भूर्भुवः स्वरिति ॥ २.२३.२ ॥
Prajāpati heated the worlds. From the heated worlds the threefold knowledge (trayī vidyā) flowed forth. He heated that, and from the heated it these syllables flowed forth: bhūḥ, bhuvaḥ, svaḥ.
Chāndogya 2.23.3
तान्यभ्यतपत्तेभ्योऽभितप्तेभ्य ॐकारः संप्रास्रवत्तद्यथा शङ्कुना सर्वाणि पर्णानि संतृण्णान्येवमोंकारेण सर्वा वाक्संतृण्णोंकार एवेदꣳसर्वमोंकार एवेदꣳ सर्वम् ॥ २.२३.३ ॥
He heated those, and from the heated ones the syllable Oṃ flowed forth. As all leaves are held together and pierced by a peg, so all speech is held together by Oṃ. Oṃ indeed is all this; Oṃ indeed is all this.
