Library·Chāndogya Upaniṣad·1·1.11
अथ हैनं यजमान उवाच । भगवन्तं वा अहं विविदिषाणीति । उषस्तिर् अस्मि चाक्रायण इति होवाच
atha hainaṃ yajamāna uvāca | bhagavantaṃ vā ahaṃ vividiṣāṇīti | uṣastir asmi cākrāyaṇa iti hovāca
Then the sacrificer said to him: 'I should like to know who you are, Sir.' He replied: 'I am Ushasti Kâkrâyana.'
Translated by F. Max Müller
स होवाच । भगवन्तं वा अहम् एभिः सर्वैर् आर्त्विज्यैः पर्यैषिषम् । भगवतो वा अहम् अवित्त्यान्यान् अवृषि
sa hovāca | bhagavantaṃ vā aham ebhiḥ sarvair ārtvijyaiḥ paryaiṣiṣam | bhagavato vā aham avittyānyān avṛṣi
He said: 'I looked for you, Sir, for all these sacrificial offices, but not finding you, I chose others.'
Translated by F. Max Müller
भगवांस् त्व् एव मे सर्वैर् आर्त्विज्यैर् इति । तथेति । अथ तर्ह्य् एत एव समतिसृष्टाः स्तुवताम् । यावत् त्व् एभ्यो धनं दद्यास् तावन् मम दद्या इति । तथेति ह यजमान उवाच
bhagavāṃs tv eva me sarvair ārtvijyair iti | tatheti | atha tarhy eta eva samatisṛṣṭāḥ stuvatām | yāvat tv ebhyo dhanaṃ dadyās tāvan mama dadyā iti | tatheti ha yajamāna uvāca
'But now, Sir, take all the sacrificial offices.' Ushasti said: "Very well; but let those, with my permission, perform the hymns of praise. Only as much wealth as you give to them, so much give to me also.' The sacrificer assented.

अथ हैनं प्रस्तोतोपससाद । प्रस्तोतर् या देवता प्रस्तावम् अन्वायत्ता तां चेद् अविद्वान् प्रस्तोष्यसि मूर्धा ते विपतिष्यतीति मा भगवान् अवोचत् । कतमा सा देवतेति

Then the Prastotri approached him, saying: 'Sir, you said to me, "Prastotri, if you, without knowing the deity which belongs to the prastâva, are going to sing it, your head will fall off,"—which then is that deity?'
Translated by F. Max Müller
प्राण इति होवाच । सर्वाणि ह वा इमानि भूतानि प्राणम् एवाभिसंविशन्ति । प्राणम् अभ्युज्जिहते । सैषा देवता प्रस्तावम् अन्वायत्ता । तां चेद् अविद्वान् प्रास्तोष्यो मूर्धा ते विपतिष्यत् तथोक्तस्य मयेति

He said: 'Breath (prâna). For all these beings merge into breath alone, and from breath they arise. This is the deity belonging to the prastâva. If, without knowing that deity, you had sung forth your hymns, your head would have fallen off, after you had been warned by me.'
Translated by F. Max Müller
अथ हैनम् उद्गातोपससाद । उद्गातर् या देवतोद्गीथम् अन्वायत्ता तां चेद् अविद्वान् उद्गास्यसि मूर्धा ते विपतिष्यतीति मा भगवान् अवोचत् । कतमा सा देवता इति

Then the Udgâtri approached him, saying: 'Sir, you said to me, "Udgâtri, if you, without knowing the deity which belongs to the udgîtha, are going to sing it, your head will fall off,"—which then is that deity?'
Translated by F. Max Müller
आदित्य इति होवाच । सर्वाणि ह वा इमानि भूतान्य् आदित्यम् उच्चैः सन्तं गायन्ति । सैषा देवतोद्गीथम् अन्वायत्ता । तां चेद् अविद्वान् उदगास्यो मूर्धा ते व्यपतिष्यत् तथोक्तस्य मयेति

He said: 'The sun (âditya). For all these beings praise the sun when it stands on high. This is the deity belonging to the udgîtha. If without knowing that deity, you had sung out your hymns, your head would have fallen off, after you had been warned by me.'
Translated by F. Max Müller
अथ हैनं प्रतिहर्तोपससाद । प्रतिहर्तर् या देवता प्रतिहारम् अन्वायत्ता तां चेद् अविद्वान् प्रतिहरिष्यसि मूर्धा ते विपतिष्यतीति मा भगवान् अवोचत् । कतमा सा देवतेति

Then the Pratihartri approached him, saying: 'Sir, you said to me, "Pratihartri, if you, without knowing the deity belonging to the pratihâra, are going to sing it, your head will fall off,"—which then is that deity?'

अन्नम् इति होवाच । सर्वाणि ह वा इमानि भूतन्य् अन्नम् एव प्रतिहरमाणानि जीवन्ति । सैषा देवता प्रतिहारम् अन्वायत्ता । तां चेद् अविद्वान् प्रत्यहरिष्यो मूर्धा ते व्यपतिष्यत् तथोक्तस्य मयेति तथोक्तस्य मयेति

He said: 'Food (anna). For all these beings live when they partake of food. This is the deity belonging to the pratihâra. If, without knowing that deity, you had sung your hymns, your head would have fallen off, after you had been warned by me.'
