Chāndogya 4.16.1
एष ह वै यज्ञो योऽयं पवते एष ह यन्निदꣳ सर्वं पुनाति । यदेष यन्निदꣳ सर्वं पुनाति तस्मादेष एव यज्ञस्तस्य मनश्च वाक्च वर्तनी ॥ ४.१६.१ ॥
Indeed, this is the sacrifice, which flows here purifying. This very thing purifies all of this. Since it purifies all of this, this is indeed the sacrifice. Its two paths are mind and speech.
Chāndogya 4.16.2
तयोरन्यतरां मनसा सꣳस्करोति ब्रह्मा वाचा होताध्वर्युरुद्गातान्यतराꣳस यत्रौपाकृते प्रातरनुवाके पुरा परिधानीयाया ब्रह्मा व्यवदति ॥ ४.१६.२ ॥
He prepares one of these two with the mind; the brahman priest with speech, and the hotṛ, adhvaryu and udgātṛ the other, where, in the morning anuvāka of the upākaraṇa rite, before the paridhānīyā verse, the brahman priest speaks aloud.
Chāndogya 4.16.3
अन्यतरामेव वर्तनीꣳ सꣳस्करोति हीयतेऽन्यतरा स यथैकपाद्व्रजन्रथो वैकेन चक्रेण वर्तमानो रिष्यत्येवमस्य यज्ञोरिष्यति यज्ञꣳ रिष्यन्तं यजमानोऽनुरिष्यति स इष्ट्वा पापीयान्भवति ॥ ४.१६.३ ॥
He prepares only one of the two paths, and the other is deficient. Just as a one-footed chariot, going on one wheel, is destroyed, so his sacrifice is destroyed. With the sacrifice being destroyed, the sacrificer too is destroyed; having sacrificed, he becomes more sinful.
Chāndogya 4.16.4
अथ यत्रोपाकृते प्रातरनुवाके न पुरा परिधानीयाया ब्रह्मा व्यवदत्युभे एव वर्तनी सꣳस्कुर्वन्ति न हीयतेऽन्यतरा ॥ ४.१६.४ ॥
Now, when at the morning anuvāka recitation the brahmā speaks before the paridhānīyā verse, they still complete both paths; neither one is diminished.
Chāndogya 4.16.5
स यथोभयपाद्व्रजन्रथो वोभाभ्यां चक्राभ्यां वर्तमानः प्रतितिष्ठत्येवमस्य यज्ञः प्रतितिष्ठति यज्ञं प्रतितिष्ठन्तं यजमानोऽनुप्रतितिष्ठति स इष्ट्वा श्रेयान्भवति ॥ ४.१६.५ ॥
Just as a chariot moving on both wheels stays steady, so his sacrifice stays steady; the sacrificer who follows the steady sacrifice also stays steady. Having performed the sacrifice, he becomes superior.
