Madgu's wife said: he will tell you one quarter of Brahman. On the next morning he drove the cows forth. Where they were by evening, there he kindled a fire, gathered the cows, placed firewood, and sat down behind the fire, facing east.
Chāndogya 4.8.2
तं मद्गुरुपनिपत्याभ्युवाद सत्यकाम३ इति भगव इति ह प्रतिशुश्राव ॥ ४.८.२ ॥
Madgu approached him and addressed him: Satyakāma! He answered: Revered sir!
Chāndogya 4.8.3
ब्रह्मणः सोम्य ते पादं ब्रवाणीति ब्रवीतु मे भगवानिति तस्मै होवाच प्राणः कला चक्षुः कला श्रोत्रं कला मनः कलैष वै सोम्य चतुष्कलः पादो ब्रह्मण आयतनवान्नाम ॥ ४.८.३ ॥
Dear one, "I will tell you a quarter of brahman" — "Venerable one, tell me" — then he said: breath is a part, the eye is a part, the ear is a part, the mind is a part. Dear one, this is the four-part quarter of brahman that has a support; its name is 'āyatanavān'.
Chāndogya 4.8.4
स यै एतमेवं विद्वाꣳश्चतुष्कलं पादं ब्रह्मण आयतनवानित्युपास्त आयतनवानस्मिꣳल्लोके भवत्यायतनवतो ह लोकाञ्जयति य एतमेवं विद्वाꣳश्चतुष्कलं पादं ब्रह्मण आयतनवानित्युपास्ते ॥ ४.८.४ ॥
He who knows this quarter of brahman, of four parts, as 'āyatanavān' and meditates upon it thus, becomes one with a support in this world; and he who knows this quarter of brahman of four parts and meditates upon it as 'āyatanavān' wins worlds that have a support.
