Chāndogya 4.17.1
प्रजापतिर्लोकानभ्यतपत्तेषां तप्यमानानाꣳरसान्प्रावृहदग्निं पृथिव्या वायुमन्तरिक्षातादित्यं दिवः ॥ ४.१७.१ ॥
Prajāpati heated the worlds. From these heated worlds he drew forth their essences: from the earth, fire; from the atmosphere, wind; from the sky, the sun.
Chāndogya 4.17.2
स एतास्तिस्रो देवता अभ्यतपत्तासां तप्यमानानाꣳरसान्प्रावृहदग्नेर्ऋचो वायोर्यजूꣳषि सामान्यादित्यात् ॥ ४.१७.२ ॥
He heated these three deities. From the heated deities he drew forth their essences: from fire, the verses of the Ṛg; from wind, the formulas of the Yajus; from the sun, the chants of the Sāman.
Chāndogya 4.17.3
स एतां त्रयीं विद्यामभ्यतपत्तस्यास्तप्यमानाया रसान्प्रावृहद्भूरित्यृग्भ्यो भुवरिति यजुर्भ्यः स्वरिति सामभ्यः ॥ ४.१७.३ ॥
He brooded upon this threefold knowledge. From it, heated, the essences were drawn forth: from the ṛk verses the utterance bhūḥ, from the yajus verses bhuvaḥ, and from the sāman chants svaḥ.
Chāndogya 4.17.4
तद्यदृक्तो रिष्येद्भूः स्वाहेति गार्हपत्ये जुहुयादृचामेव तद्रसेनर्चां वीर्येणर्चां यज्ञस्य विरिष्टꣳ सन्दधाति ॥ ४.१७.४ ॥
If a ṛk verse should be faulty, one should offer in the gārhapatya fire, saying 'bhūḥ svāhā.' Thus, by the essence of the ṛks and by the power of the ṛks, he joins together the defect of the sacrifice.
Chāndogya 4.17.5
स यदि यजुष्टो रिष्येद्भुवः स्वाहेति जुहुयाद्यजुषामेव तद्रसेन यजुषां वीर्येण यजुषां यज्ञस्य विरिष्टꣳ सन्दधाति ॥ ४.१७.५ ॥
If a yajus formula should be faulty, he should offer saying 'bhuvaḥ svāhā.' Thus, by the essence of the yajus formulas and by their power, he joins together the defect of the sacrifice.
Chāndogya 4.17.6
अथ यदि सामतो रिष्येत्स्वः स्वाहेत् जुहुयात्साम्नामेव तद्रसेन साम्नां वीर्येण साम्नां यज्ञस्य विरिष्टं सन्दधाति ॥ ४.१७.६ ॥
Now, if a sāman chant should be faulty, he should offer saying 'svaḥ svāhā.' Thus, by the essence of the sāman chants and by their power, he joins together the defect of the sacrifice.
Chāndogya 4.17.7
तद्यथा लवणेन सुवर्णꣳ सन्दध्यात्सुवर्णेन रजतꣳ रजतेन त्रपु त्रपुणा सीसꣳ सीसेन लोहं लोहेन दारु दारु चर्मणा ॥ ४.१७.७ ॥
Just as one solders gold with borax, gold with silver, silver with tin, tin with lead, lead with iron, iron with wood, and wood with leather.
Chāndogya 4.17.8
एवमेषां लोकानामासां देवतानामस्यास्त्रय्या विद्याया वीर्येण यज्ञस्य विरिष्टꣳ सन्दधाति भेषजकृतो ह वा एष यज्ञो यत्रैवंविद्ब्रह्मा भवति ॥ ४.१७.८ ॥
In the same way, by the power of these worlds, these deities and the threefold knowledge, he mends the flaw of the sacrifice. Indeed that sacrifice becomes a healing one where the brahmā-priest is one who knows thus.
Chāndogya 4.17.9
एष ह वा उदक्प्रवणो यज्ञो यत्रैवंविद्ब्रह्मा भवत्येवंविदꣳ ह वा एषा ब्रह्माणमनुगाथा यतो यत आवर्तते तत्तद्गच्छति ॥ ४.१७.९ ॥
This sacrifice tends northward, where the brahmā-priest is one who knows thus. Indeed this anugāthā goes to the brahmā who knows thus; wherever it turns from, there it goes.
Chāndogya 4.17.10
मानवो ब्रह्मैवैक ऋत्विक्कुरूनश्वाभिरक्षत्येवंविद्ध वै ब्रह्मा यज्ञं यजमानꣳ सर्वाꣳश्चर्त्विजोऽभिरक्षति तस्मादेवंविदमेव ब्रह्माणं कुर्वीत नानेवंविदं नानेवंविदम् ॥ ४.१७.१० ॥
The brahmā alone is the one ṛtvij of the line of Manu; he protects the Kurus and the horses. Indeed the brahmā who knows thus protects the sacrifice, the sacrificer, and all the ṛtvijs. Therefore one should make a brahmā of one who knows thus, and not one who does not know thus, not one who does not know thus.
