Chāndogya 4.3.1
वायुर्वाव संवर्गो यदा वा अग्निरुद्वायति वायुमेवाप्येति यदा सूर्योऽस्तमेति वायुमेवाप्येति यदा चन्द्रोऽस्तमेति वायुमेवाप्येति ॥ ४.३.१ ॥
Wind indeed is the absorber (saṃvarga). When fire flares up, it goes back into wind alone. When the sun sets, it goes back into wind alone. When the moon sets, it goes back into wind alone.
Chāndogya 4.3.2
यदाप उच्छुष्यन्ति वायुमेवापियन्ति वायुर्ह्येवैतान्सर्वान्संवृङ्क्त इत्यधिदैवतम् ॥ ४.३.२ ॥
When the waters dry up, they go back into wind alone, for wind indeed draws all of these in. This is the account concerning the deities (adhidaivata).
Chāndogya 4.3.3
अथाध्यात्मं प्राणो वाव संवर्गः स यदा स्वपिति प्राणमेव वागप्येति प्राणं चक्षुः प्राणꣳ श्रोत्रं प्राणं मनः प्राणो ह्येवैतान्सर्वान्संवृङ्क्त इति ॥ ४.३.३ ॥
Now, regarding the self, prāṇa (breath) is indeed the absorber. When one sleeps, speech merges into breath, the eye into breath, the ear into breath, the mind into breath. Breath alone draws all of these together.
Chāndogya 4.3.4
तौ वा एतौ द्वौ संवर्गौ वायुरेव देवेषु प्राणः प्राणेषु ॥ ४.३.४ ॥
These two are indeed the two absorbers: among the gods, wind (vāyu); among the vital breaths, breath (prāṇa).
Chāndogya 4.3.5
अथ ह शौनकं च कापेयमभिप्रतारिणं च काक्षसेनिं परिविष्यमाणौ ब्रह्मचारी बिभिक्षे तस्मा उ ह न ददतुः ॥ ४.३.५ ॥
Then a celibate student (brahmacārin) begged alms of Śaunaka, Kāpeya, Abhipratārin and Kākṣaseni while they were being served their meal; but they gave him nothing.
Chāndogya 4.3.6
स होवाच महात्मनश्चतुरो देव एकः कः स जगार भुवनस्य गोपास्तं कापेय नाभिपश्यन्ति मर्त्या अभिप्रतारिन्बहुधा वसन्तं यस्मै वा एतदन्नं दत्तमिति ॥ ४.३.६ ॥
He said: "Of the great self there are four, yet the god is one. Who is that who, as protector of the world, has swallowed it? O Kāpeya, O Abhipratārin, mortals do not see him, though he dwells in many forms. (He is seen by one to whom this food is given.)"
Chāndogya 4.3.7
तदु ह शौनकः कापेयः प्रतिमन्वानः प्रत्येयायात्मा देवानां जनिता प्रजानाꣳ हिरण्यदꣳष्ट्रो बभसोऽनसूरिर्महान्तमस्य महिमानमाहुरनद्यमानो यदनन्नमत्तीति वै वयं ब्रह्मचारिन्नेदमुपास्महे दत्तास्मै भिक्षामिति ॥ ४.३.७ ॥
Then Śaunaka Kāpeya, reflecting, replied: the ātman that generates the gods and creates beings, with golden teeth, the devourer, free of envy, its great glory is spoken of; it is eaten not, yet it eats what is not food. O student, we worship this. Let alms be given to him.
Chāndogya 4.3.8
तस्म उ ह ददुस्ते वा एते पञ्चान्ये पञ्चान्ये दश सन्तस्तत्कृतं तस्मात्सर्वासु दिक्ष्वन्नमेव दश कृतꣳ सैषा विराडन्नादी तयेदꣳ सर्वं दृष्टꣳ सर्वमस्येदं दृष्टं भवत्यन्नादो भवति य एवं वेद य एवं वेद ॥ ४.३.८ ॥
They gave it to him. These are indeed five, and again five, becoming ten, made by them; therefore in all directions food alone was made tenfold. She is Virāj, the food-eater; by her all this was seen, and for him all this becomes seen. Whoever knows thus becomes a food-eater; whoever knows thus.
