ChU 1.2.4

अथ ह चक्षुर् उद्गीथम् उपासां चक्रिरे । तद् धासुराः पाप्मना विविधुः । तस्मात् तेनोभयं पश्यति दर्शनीयं चादर्शनीयं च । पाप्मना ह्य् एतद् विद्धम्

atha ha cakṣur udgītham upāsāṃ cakrire | tad dhāsurāḥ pāpmanā vividhuḥ | tasmāt tenobhayaṃ paśyati darśanīyaṃ cādarśanīyaṃ ca | pāpmanā hy etad viddham

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Then they meditated on the udgîtha (Om) as the eye, but the Asuras pierced it with evil. There fore we see both what is sightly and unsightly. For the eye is pierced by evil.

Translated by F. Max Müller
