Chāndogya 3.17.1
स यदशिशिषति यत्पिपासति यन्न रमते ता अस्य दीक्षाः ॥ ३.१७.१ ॥
When he desires to eat, when he thirsts, when he does not delight — these are his consecrations (dīkṣā).
Chāndogya 3.17.2
अथ यदश्नाति यत्पिबति यद्रमते तदुपसदैरेति ॥ ३.१७.२ ॥
Then, when he eats, when he drinks, when he delights — that is accomplished with the upasad rites (upasad).
Chāndogya 3.17.3
अथ यद्धसति यज्जक्षति यन्मैथुनं चरति स्तुतशस्त्रैरेव तदेति ॥ ३.१७.३ ॥
Then, when he laughs, when he jests, when he engages in sexual union — he attains that only by the stotra and śastra chants.
Chāndogya 3.17.4
अथ यत्तपो दानमार्जवमहिꣳसा सत्यवचनमिति ता अस्य दक्षिणाः ॥ ३.१७.४ ॥
Then, austerity, giving, uprightness, non-injury, and truthful speech — these are his sacrificial fees (dakṣiṇā).
Chāndogya 3.17.5
तस्मादाहुः सोष्यत्यसोष्टेति पुनरुत्पादनमेवास्य तन्मरणमेवास्यावभृथः ॥ ३.१७.५ ॥
Therefore people say, 'He will beget a son,' or 'He did not beget a son.' His being born again is indeed his death, and that is his avabhṛtha, the final bath of the sacrifice.
Chāndogya 3.17.6
तद्धैतद्घोर् आङ्गिरसः कृष्णाय देवकीपुत्रायोक्त्वोवाचापिपास एव स बभूव सोऽन्तवेलायामेतत्त्रयं प्रतिपद्येताक्षितमस्यच्युतमसि प्राणसꣳशितमसीति तत्रैते द्वे ऋचौ भवतः ॥ ३.१७.६ ॥
Ghora Āṅgirasa told this to Kṛṣṇa, son of Devakī, and became free from thirst himself. At the end of life one should take refuge in these three: 'You are imperishable, you are unfailing, you are sharpened by breath.' On this there are two verses.
Chāndogya 3.17.7
आदित्प्रत्नस्य रेतसः । उद्वयन्तमसस्परि ज्योतिः पश्यन्त उत्तरꣳस्वः पश्यन्त उत्तरं देवं देवत्रा सूर्यमगन्म ज्योतिरुत्तममिति ज्योतिरुत्तममिति ॥ ३.१७.७ ॥
Then we have reached the ancient seed, the sun, rising beyond darkness. Seeing the light beyond darkness, seeing the higher heaven, we have reached the sun, the highest god among the gods. The supreme light, the supreme light.
