Chāndogya 8.6.1

अथ या एता हृदयस्य नाड्यस्ताः पिङ्गलस्याणिम्नस्तिष्ठन्ति शुक्लस्य नीलस्य पीतस्य लोहितस्येत्यसौ वा आदित्यः पिङ्गल एष शुक्ल एष नील एष पीत एष लोहितः ॥ ८.६.१ ॥

Now, the channels of the heart stand in the colours tawny, subtle, white, dark blue, yellow and red. That sun is tawny; this one is white, this one dark blue, this one yellow, this one red.

तद्यथा महापथ आतत उभौ ग्रामौ गच्छतीमं चामुं चैवमेवैता आदित्यस्य रश्मय उभौ लोकौ गच्छन्तीमं चामुं चामुष्मादादित्यात्प्रतायन्ते ता आसु नाडीषु सृप्ता आभ्यो नाडीभ्यः प्रतायन्ते तेऽमुष्मिन्नादित्ये सृप्ताः ॥ ८.६.२ ॥

Just as a great road, extended, goes to two villages — to this one and to that one — so these rays of the sun go to both worlds, this one and that one. They extend from that sun; flowing through these channels, they spread out from these channels, and they remain attached to that sun.

Chāndogya 8.6.3

तद्यत्रैतत्सुप्तः समस्तः सम्प्रसन्नः स्वप्नं न विजानात्यासु तदा नाडीषु सृप्तो भवति तं न कश्चन पाप्मा स्पृशति तेजसा हि तदा सम्पन्नो भवति ॥ ८.६.३ ॥

When one, asleep, fully calm and serene, knows no dream, then one has gone into these channels. No evil touches him then, for he is then endowed with radiance.

Chāndogya 8.6.4

अथ यत्रैतदबलिमानं नीतो भवति तमभित आसीना आहुर्जानासि मां जानासि मामिति स यावदस्माच्छरीरादनुत्क्रान्तो भवति तावज्जानाति ॥ ८.६.४ ॥

Then, when this person is led away, overcome with weakness, those seated around him say, "Do you know me? Do you know me?" As long as he has not departed from this body, he knows.

Chāndogya 8.6.5

अथ यत्रैतदस्माच्छरीरादुत्क्रामत्यथैतैरेव रश्मिभिरूर्ध्वमाक्रमते स ओमिति वा होद्वा मीयते स यावत्क्षिप्येन्मनस्तावदादित्यं गच्छत्येतद्वै खलु लोकद्वारं विदुषां प्रपदनं निरोधोऽविदुषाम् ॥ ८.६.५ ॥

Then, when he departs from this body, he rises upward by these very rays. Saying "Om," he goes up; as far as the mind can be thrown, so far he goes to the sun. Indeed this is the gateway of the worlds: an entry for those who know, and a barrier for those who do not.

Chāndogya 8.6.6

तदेष श्लोकः। शतं चैका च हृदयस्य नाड्यस्तासां मूर्धानमभिनिःसृतैका । तयोर्ध्वमायन्नमृतत्वमेति विष्वङ्ङन्या उत्क्रमणे भवन्त्युत्क्रमणे भवन्ति ॥ ८.६.६ ॥

Here is the verse: there are a hundred and one channels of the heart; one of them goes out toward the crown of the head. Going upward through it, one attains immortality; the others lead outward in all directions, and they occur at departure, at departure.
