Chāndogya 5.10.1
तद्य इत्थं विदुः । ये चेमेऽरण्ये श्रद्धा तप इत्युपासते तेऽर्चिषमभिसम्भवन्त्यर्चिषोऽहरह्न आपूर्यमाणपक्षमापूर्यमाणपक्षाद्यान्षडुदङ्ङेति मासाँस्तान् ॥ ५.१०.१ ॥
Those who know this, and those who in the forest worship with faith and austerity, reach the flame; from the flame, the day; from the day, the bright fortnight; from the bright fortnight, the six months during which the sun moves northward.
Chāndogya 5.10.2
मासेभ्यः संवत्सरँ संवत्सरादादित्यमादित्याच्चन्द्रमसं चन्द्रमसो विद्युतं तत्पुरुषोऽमानवः स एनान्ब्रह्म गमयत्येष देवयानः पन्था इति ॥ ५.१०.२ ॥
From the months to the year, from the year to the sun, from the sun to the moon, from the moon to lightning. There is a non-human person who leads them to Brahman. This is the path of the gods (devayāna).
Chāndogya 5.10.3
अथ य इमे ग्राम इष्टापूर्ते दत्तमित्युपासते ते धूममभिसम्भवन्ति धूमाद्रात्रिँ रात्रेरपरपक्षमपरपक्षाद्यान्षड्दक्षिणैति मासाँस्तान्नैते संवत्सरमभिप्राप्नुवन्ति ॥ ५.१०.३ ॥
Now those who in the village worship sacrifice, good works, and gifts (iṣṭa, pūrta, datta) attain smoke; from smoke they go to night, from night to the waning fortnight, and from the waning fortnight to the six months of the southward course. These do not reach the year.
Chāndogya 5.10.4
मासेभ्यः पितृलोकं पितृलोकादाकाशमाकाशाच्चन्द्रमसमेष सोमो राजा तद्देवानामन्नं तं देवा भक्षयन्ति ॥ ५.१०.४ ॥
From the months to the world of the fathers, from the world of the fathers to space, from space to the moon. This Soma is the king; it is the food of the gods, which the gods eat.
Chāndogya 5.10.5
तस्मिन्यवात्संपातमुषित्वाथैतमेवाध्वानं पुनर्निवर्तन्ते यथेतमाकाशमाकाशाद्वायुं वायुर्भूत्वा धूमो भवति धूमो भूत्वाभ्रं भवति ॥ ५.१०.५ ॥
Having dwelt there as long as the remainder of their store lasts, they return by the very same path they came, as they came: from space to wind; having become wind, they become smoke; having become smoke, they become cloud.
Chāndogya 5.10.6
अभ्रं भूत्वा मेघो भवति मेघो भूत्वा प्रवर्षति त इह व्रीहियवा ओषधिवनस्पतयस्तिलमाषा इति जायन्तेऽतो वै खलु दुर्निष्प्रपतरं यो यो ह्यन्नमत्ति यो रेतः सिञ्चति तद्भूय एव भवति ॥ ५.१०.६ ॥
Vapour becomes a cloud, and having become a cloud it rains. Thus rice and barley, herbs and trees, sesame and beans are born here. Therefore it is indeed very hard to escape from that: whoever eats food and whoever pours out seed becomes that again.
Chāndogya 5.10.7
तद्य इह रमणीयचरणा अभ्याशो ह यत्ते रमणीयां योनिमापद्येरन्ब्राह्मणयोनिं वा क्षत्रिययोनिं वा वैश्ययोनिं वाथ य इह कपूयचरणा अभ्याशो ह यत्ते कपूयां योनिमापद्येरन् श्वयोनिं वा सूकरयोनिं वा चण्डालयोनिं वा ॥ ५.१०.७ ॥
Those here whose conduct is pleasant will quickly enter a pleasant womb—the womb of a brāhmaṇa, or of a kṣatriya, or of a vaiśya. And those here whose conduct is foul will quickly enter a foul womb—the womb of a dog, or of a pig, or of a caṇḍāla.
Chāndogya 5.10.8
अथैतयोः पथोर्न कतरेण च न तानीमानि क्षुद्राण्यसकृदावर्तीनि भूतानि भवन्ति जायस्व म्रियस्वेत्येतत्तृतीयँस्थानं तेनासौ लोको न सम्पूर्यते तस्माज्जुगुप्सेत तदेष श्लोकः ॥ ५.१०.८ ॥
Neither by either of these two paths. These lowly beings return again and again: 'Be born, die'—this is the third state. By it that world is not filled up. Therefore one should shrink from it. On this there is this verse.
Chāndogya 5.10.9
स्तेनो हिरण्यस्य सुरां पिबँश्च गुरोस्तल्पमावसन्ब्रह्महा चैते पतन्ति चत्वारः पञ्चमश्चाचरँस्तैरिति ॥ ५.१०.९ ॥
The thief of gold, the drinker of liquor, he who lies on a teacher's bed, and the slayer of a brāhmaṇa—these four fall; and the fifth is he who associates with them.
Chāndogya 5.10.10
अथ ह य एतानेवं पञ्चाग्नीन्वेद न सह तैरप्याचरन्पाप्मना लिप्यते शुद्धः पूतः पुण्यलोको भवति य एवं वेद य एवं वेद ॥ ५.१०.१० ॥
Whoever knows these five fires in this way, even if he acts with them, is not stained by sin; he becomes pure, purified, and attains the world of merit. Whoever knows thus, whoever knows thus.
