Taittirīya 3.1

भृगुर्वै वारुणिः । वरुणं पितरमुपससार । अधीहि भगवो ब्रह्मेति । तस्मा एतत्प्रोवाच । अन्नं प्राणं चक्षुः श्रोत्रं मनो वाचमिति ।

He performed austerity. Having performed austerity,

Let no one be refused in one's dwelling. This is the vow. Therefore, by whatever means, let one obtain much food. They say: let food be prepared for him. This food is indeed cooked by the mouth; by the mouth food is prepared for him. This food is indeed cooked by the middle; by the middle food is prepared for him. This food is indeed cooked by the end; by the end food is prepared for him — for one who knows thus. In speech there is 'kṣema' (well-being); in the in-breath and out-breath, 'yogakṣema' (acquisition and security); in the hands, 'karma' (action); in the feet, 'gati' (movement); in the anus, 'vimukti' (release). These are the human designations. Now the divine: in rain, 'tṛpti' (satisfaction); in lightning, 'bala' (strength); in cattle, 'yaśas' (fame); in the stars, 'jyotis' (light); in the genital organ, 'prajāti, amṛta, ānanda' (offspring, immortality, bliss); in space, 'sarva' (all). One should meditate on it as 'pratiṣṭhā' (support); one becomes firmly established. One should meditate on it as 'mahas' (greatness); one becomes great. One should meditate on it as 'manas' (mind); one becomes endowed with mind. One should meditate on it as 'namas' (reverence); desires bow down to him. One should meditate on it as 'brahman'; one becomes possessed of brahman. One should meditate on it as the 'parimara' (encircling protection) of brahman; around him, hating rivals and unfriendly enemies die. He who is in this person and he who is in the sun — they are one. He who knows thus, having departed from this world, approaches this self made of food, approaches this self made of breath, approaches this self made of mind, approaches this self made of understanding, approaches this self made of bliss. Moving about these worlds and desires, taking any form at will, he remains singing this chant: hā ३ vu, hā ३ vu, hā ३ vu. I am food, I am food, I am food. I am the eater of food, I am the eater of food, I am the eater of food. I am the maker of verse, I am the maker of verse, I am the maker of verse. I am the firstborn of the cosmic order, before the gods, in the navel of immortality. He who gives me, he indeed protects me. I eat food, the eater of food I devour. I have overcome the whole world. Golden light. He who knows thus. This is the Upaniṣad.
