Chāndogya 3.15.1
अन्तरिक्षोदरः कोशो भूमिबुध्नो न जीर्यति दिशो ह्यस्य स्रक्तयो द्यौरस्योत्तरं बिलꣳस एष कोशो वसुधानस्तस्मिन्विश्वमिदꣳश्रितम् ॥ ३.१५.१ ॥
Its belly is the atmosphere, its base the earth; this vessel does not decay. The directions are its hooks; heaven is its upper lid and opening. This vessel is the holder of treasure, and in it this whole universe rests.
Chāndogya 3.15.2
तस्य प्राची दिग्जुहूर्नाम सहमाना नाम दक्षिणा राज्ञी नाम प्रतीची सुभूता नामोदीची तासां वायुर्वत्सः स य एतमेवं वायुं दिशां वत्सं वेद न पुत्ररोदꣳरोदिति सोऽहमेतमेवं वायुं दिशां वत्सं वेद मा पुत्ररोदꣳरुदम् ॥ ३.१५.२ ॥
Its eastern direction is the ladle named Juhū; the southern is named Sahamānā; the western, the queen named Rājñī; the northern, named Subhūtā. Their calf is the wind. He who knows the wind thus, as the calf of the directions, does not weep as one weeps for a son. So I, knowing the wind thus as the calf of the directions, have not wept for a son.
Chāndogya 3.15.3
अरिष्टं कोशं प्रपद्येऽमुनामुनामुना प्राणं प्रपद्येऽमुनामुनामुना भूः प्रपद्येऽमुनामुनामुना भुवः प्रपद्येऽमुनामुनामुना स्वः प्रपद्येऽमुनामुनामुना ॥ ३.१५.३ ॥
I take refuge in the unharmed sheath (the body). By that formula I take refuge in prāṇa, the breath. By that formula I take refuge in bhūḥ. By that formula I take refuge in bhuvaḥ. By that formula I take refuge in svaḥ.
Chāndogya 3.15.4
स यदवोचं प्राणं प्रपद्य इति प्राणो वा इदꣳ सर्वं भूतं यदिदं किञ्च तमेव तत्प्रापत्सि ॥ ३.१५.४ ॥
When I said, 'I take refuge in prāṇa,' prāṇa indeed is all this that exists, whatever there is. That very thing you have truly attained.
Chāndogya 3.15.5
अथ यदवोचं भूः प्रपद्य इति पृथिवीं प्रपद्येऽन्तरिक्षं प्रपद्ये दिवं प्रपद्य इत्येव तदवोचम् ॥ ३.१५.५ ॥
Now, when I said, 'I take refuge in bhūḥ,' I took refuge in the earth, I take refuge in the atmosphere, I take refuge in the sky. That is exactly what I said.
Chāndogya 3.15.6
अथ यदवोचं भुवः प्रपद्य इत्यग्निं प्रपद्ये वायुं प्रपद्य आदित्यं प्रपद्य इत्येव तदवोचम् ॥ ३.१५.६ ॥
Now, when I said, 'I take refuge in bhuvaḥ,' I took refuge in fire, I take refuge in wind, I take refuge in the sun. That is exactly what I said.
Chāndogya 3.15.7
अथ यदवोचꣳस्वः प्रपद्य इत्यृग्वेदं प्रपद्ये यजुर्वेदं प्रपद्ये सामवेदं प्रपद्य इत्येव तदवोचं तदवोचम् ॥ ३.१५.७ ॥
Now, what we said — 'svaḥ, I take refuge' — I take refuge in the Ṛg Veda, I take refuge in the Yajur Veda, I take refuge in the Sāma Veda; thus indeed that is what I said, that is what I said.
