Śvetāśvatara 4.1
य एकोऽवर्णो बहुधा शक्तियोगाद्वर्णाननेकान्निहितार्थो दधाति ।
विचैति चान्ते विश्वमादौ च देवः स नो बुद्ध्या शुभया संयुनक्तु ॥ ४.१ ॥

तदेव शुक्रं तद्ब्रह्म तदापस्तत्प्रजापतिः ॥ ४.२ ॥

त्वं जीर्णो दण्डेन वञ्चसि त्वं जातो भवसि विश्वतोमुखः ॥ ४.३ ॥

Śvetāśvatara 4.6
द्वा सुपर्णा सयुजा सखाया समानं वृक्षं परिषस्वजाते ।
तयोरन्यः पिप्पलं स्वाद्वत्त्यनश्नन्नन्योऽभिचाकशीति ॥ ४.६ ॥

जुष्टं यदा पश्यत्यन्यमीशमस्य महिमानमिति वीतशोकः ॥ ४.७ ॥

यस्तं न वेद किमृचा करिष्यति य इत्तद्विदुस्त इमे समासते ॥ ४.८ ॥
