Library·Chāndogya Upaniṣad·3·3.17
स यद् अशिशिषति यत् पिपासति यन् न रमते ता अस्य दीक्षाः
sa yad aśiśiṣati yat pipāsati yan na ramate tā asya dīkṣāḥ
When a man (who is the sacrificer) hungers, thirsts, and abstains from pleasures, that is the Dikshâ (initiatory rite).
Translated by F. Max Müller
अथ यद् अश्नाति यत् पिबति यद् रमते तद् उपसदैर् एति
atha yad aśnāti yat pibati yad ramate tad upasadair eti
When a man eats, drinks, and enjoys pleasures, he does it with the Upasadas (the sacrificial days on which the sacrificer is allowed to partake of food).
Translated by F. Max Müller
अथ यद् धसति यज् जक्षति यन् मैथुनं चरति स्तुतशस्त्रैर् एव तद् एति
atha yad dhasati yaj jakṣati yan maithunaṃ carati stutaśastrair eva tad eti
When a man laughs, eats, and delights himself, he does it with the Stuta-sastras (hymns sung and recited at the sacrifices).
Translated by F. Max Müller
अथ यत् तपो दानम् आर्जवम् अहिंसा सत्यवचनम् इति ता अस्य दक्षिणाः
atha yat tapo dānam ārjavam ahiṃsā satyavacanam iti tā asya dakṣiṇāḥ
Penance, liberality, righteousness, kindness, truthfulness, these form his Dakshinâs (gifts bestowed on priests, &c.)
Translated by F. Max Müller
तस्माद् आहुः सोष्यत्य् असोष्टेति । पुनर् उत्पादनम् एवास्य तत् । मरणम् एवावभृथः
tasmād āhuḥ soṣyaty asoṣṭeti | punar utpādanam evāsya tat | maraṇam evāvabhṛthaḥ
Therefore when they say, 'There will be a birth,' and 'there has been a birth' (words used at the Soma-sacrifice, and really meaning, 'He will pour out the Soma-juice,' and 'he has poured out the Soma-juice'), that is his new birth. His death is the Avabhritha ceremony (when the sacrificial vessels are carried away to be cleansed).
Translated by F. Max Müller
तद् धैतद् घोर आङ्गिरसः कृष्णाय देवकीपुत्रायोक्त्वोवाच । अपिपास एव स बभूव । सो ऽन्तवेलायाम् एतत् त्रयं प्रतिपद्येताक्षितम् अस्य् अच्युतम् असि प्राणसंशितम् असीति । तत्रैते द्वे ऋचौ भवतः
tad dhaitad ghora āṅgirasaḥ kṛṣṇāya devakīputrāyoktvovāca | apipāsa eva sa babhūva | so 'ntavelāyām etat trayaṃ pratipadyetākṣitam asy acyutam asi prāṇasaṃśitam asīti | tatraite dve ṛcau bhavataḥ
Ghora Ângirasa, after having communicated this (view of the sacrifice) to Krishna, the son of Devaki— and he never thirsted again (after other knowledge)— said: "Let a man, when his end approaches, take refuge with this Triad:'Thou art the imperishable;' 'Thou art the unchangeable,' 'Thou art the edge of Prâna.' On this subject there are two Rik verses (Rig-veda VIII,,):—
Translated by F. Max Müller
आदित् प्रत्नस्य रेतसः । उद् वयं तमसस्परि । ज्योतिः पश्यन्त उत्तरम् । स्वः पश्यन्त उत्तरम् । देवं देवत्रा सूर्यम् अगन्म ज्योतिर् उत्तमम् इति ज्योतिर् उत्तमम् इति
ādit pratnasya retasaḥ | ud vayaṃ tamasaspari | jyotiḥ paśyanta uttaram | svaḥ paśyanta uttaram | devaṃ devatrā sūryam aganma jyotir uttamam iti jyotir uttamam iti
'Then they see (within themselves) the everpresent light of the old seed (of the world, the Sat), the highest, which is lighted in the brilliant (Brahman)." Rig-veda I,,:— 'Perceiving above the darkness (of ignorance) the higher light (in the sun), as the higher light within the heart, the bright source (of light and life) among the gods, we have reached the highest light, yea, the highest light.'
