Muṇḍaka 2.1.1
तदेतत् सत्यं
यथा सुदीप्तात् पावकाद्विस्फुलिङ्गाः
सहस्रशः प्रभवन्ते सरूपाः ।
तथाऽक्षराद्विविधाः सोम्य भावाः
प्रजायन्ते तत्र चैवापि यन्ति ॥ २.१.१ ॥
This is the truth: as from a well-kindled fire sparks of the same form arise by the thousand, so, gentle one, from the imperishable manifold beings arise, and into it they also return.
Muṇḍaka 2.1.2
दिव्यो ह्यमूर्तः पुरुषः स बाह्याभ्यन्तरो ह्यजः ।
अप्राणो ह्यमनाः शुभ्रो ह्यक्षरात् परतः परः ॥ २.१.२ ॥
That Person is divine and formless; he is both outside and inside, unborn. Without breath, without mind, pure, he is beyond the imperishable, higher than it.
Muṇḍaka 2.1.3
एतस्माज्जायते प्रणो मनः सर्वेन्द्रियाणि च ।
खं वायुर्ज्योतिरापः पृथिवी विश्वस्य धारिणी ॥ २.१.३ ॥
From this are born breath, mind and all the senses, and space, air, light, water, and the earth that supports all.
Muṇḍaka 2.1.4
अग्नीर्मूर्धा चक्षुषी चन्द्रसूर्यौ
दिशः श्रोत्रे वाग् विवृताश्च वेदाः ।
वायुः प्रणो हृदयं विश्वमस्य पद्भ्यां
पृथिवी ह्येष सर्वभूतान्तरात्मा ॥ २.१.४ ॥
Fire is his head, the sun and moon his eyes, the directions his ears; his open speech and the Vedas are his; air is his breath, the universe his heart, and the earth came from his feet. Truly, he is the inner self of all beings.
Muṇḍaka 2.1.5
तस्मादग्निः समिधो यस्य सूर्यः
सोमात् पर्जन्य ओषधयः पृथिव्याम् ।
पुमान् रेतः सिञ्चति योषितायां
बह्वीः प्रजाः पुरुषात् संप्रसूताः ॥ २.१.५ ॥
From him comes fire, whose kindling is the sun; from soma comes the rain-cloud, and on earth the herbs; the man pours seed into the woman, and from the Person many creatures are fully brought forth.
Muṇḍaka 2.1.6
तस्मादृचः साम यजूंषि दीक्षा
यज्ञाश्च सर्वे क्रतवो दक्षिणाश्च ।
संवत्सरश्च यजमानश्च लोकाः
सोमो यत्र पवते यत्र सूर्यः ॥ २.१.६ ॥
From him come the verses of the Ṛg, the chants of the Sāma, the formulas of the Yajus, consecration, all sacrifices, rites and sacrificial fees; the year, the sacrificer and the worlds, and wherever soma flows and the sun shines.
Muṇḍaka 2.1.7
तस्माच्च देवा बहुधा संप्रसूताः
साध्या मनुष्याः पशवो वयांसि ।
प्राणापानौ व्रीहियवौ तपश्च
श्रद्ध सत्यं ब्रह्मचर्यं विधिश्च ॥ २.१.७ ॥
From him the gods were brought forth in many ways, the Sādhyas, humans, animals and birds; the in-breath and out-breath, rice and barley, austerity, faith, truth, chastity and rule of observance.
Muṇḍaka 2.1.8
सप्त प्राणाः प्रभवन्ति तस्मात्
सप्तार्चिषः समिधः सप्त होमाः ।
सप्त इमे लोका येषु चरन्ति प्राणा
गुहाशया निहिताः सप्त सप्त ॥ २.१.८ ॥
From him arise the seven breaths, the seven flames, the seven fuel-sticks and the seven oblations; these seven worlds in which the breaths move, placed seven by seven, dwelling in the cave.
Muṇḍaka 2.1.9
अतः समुद्रा गिरयश्च सर्वेऽस्मात्
स्यन्दन्ते सिन्धवः सर्वरूपाः ।
अतश्च सर्वा ओषधयो रसश्च
येनैष भूतैस्तिष्ठते ह्यन्तरात्मा ॥ २.१.९ ॥
From him come all the oceans and mountains; from him all rivers flow in every form; from him are all herbs and sap; by that by which this inner self abides with beings.
Muṇḍaka 2.1.10
पुरुष एवेदं विश्वं कर्म तपो ब्रह्म परामृतम् ।
एतद्यो वेद निहितं गुहायां
सोऽविद्याग्रन्थिं विकिरतीह सोम्य ॥ २.१.१० ॥
This whole universe is indeed the Person alone: action, austerity, brahman, and the supreme immortal. He who knows this, hidden in the cave, O gentle one, here unties the knot of ignorance.
