Chāndogya Upaniṣad 3.1.1

ChU 3.1.1

असौ वा आदित्यो देवमधु । तस्य द्यौर् एव तिरश्चीनवंशः । अन्तरिक्षम् अपूपः । मरीचयः पुत्राः

asau vā ādityo devamadhu | tasya dyaur eva tiraścīnavaṃśaḥ | antarikṣam apūpaḥ | marīcayaḥ putrāḥ

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

The sun is indeed the honey of the Devas. The heaven is the cross-beam (from which) the sky (hangs as) a hive, and the bright vapours are the eggs of the bees.
