Chāndogya Upaniṣad 3.19

आदित्यो ब्रह्मेत्य् आदेशः । तस्योपव्याख्यानम् । असद् एवेदम् अग्र आसीत् । तत् सद् आसीत् । तत् समभवत् । तद् आण्डं निरवर्तत । तत् संवत्सरस्य मात्राम् अशयत । तन् निरभिद्यत । ते आण्डकपाले रजतं च सुवर्णं चाभवताम्

ādityo brahmety ādeśaḥ | tasyopavyākhyānam | asad evedam agra āsīt | tat sad āsīt | tat samabhavat | tad āṇḍaṃ niravartata | tat saṃvatsarasya mātrām aśayata | tan nirabhidyata | te āṇḍakapāle rajataṃ ca suvarṇaṃ cābhavatām

Âditya (the sun) is Brahman, this is the doctrine, and this is the fuller account of it:— In the beginning this was non-existent. It be came existent, it grew. It turned into an egg. The egg lay for the time of a year. The egg broke open. The two halves were one of silver, the other of gold.

Translated by F. Max Müller

तद् यद् रजतं सेयं पृथिवी । यत् सुवर्णं सा द्यौः । यज् जरायु ते पर्वताः । यद् उल्बं (स) समेघो नीहारः । या धमनयस् ता नद्यः । यद् वास्तेयम् उदकं स समुद्रः

tad yad rajataṃ seyaṃ pṛthivī | yat suvarṇaṃ sā dyauḥ | yaj jarāyu te parvatāḥ | yad ulbaṃ (sa) samegho nīhāraḥ | yā dhamanayas tā nadyaḥ | yad vāsteyam udakaṃ sa samudraḥ

The silver one became this earth, the golden one the sky, the thick membrane (of the white) the mountains, the thin membrane (of the yoke) the mist with the clouds, the small veins the rivers, the fluid the sea.

Translated by F. Max Müller

अथ यत् तद् अजायत सो ऽसाव् आदित्यः । तं जायमानं घोषा उलूलवो ऽनूदतिष्ठन्त् सर्वाणि च भूतानि सर्वे च कामाः । तस्मात् तस्योदयं प्रति प्रत्यायनं प्रति घोषा उलूलवो ऽनूत्तिष्ठन्ति सर्वाणि च भूतानि सर्वे च कामाः

atha yat tad ajāyata so 'sāv ādityaḥ | taṃ jāyamānaṃ ghoṣā ulūlavo 'nūdatiṣṭhant sarvāṇi ca bhūtāni sarve ca kāmāḥ | tasmāt tasyodayaṃ prati pratyāyanaṃ prati ghoṣā ulūlavo 'nūttiṣṭhanti sarvāṇi ca bhūtāni sarve ca kāmāḥ

And what was born from it that was Âditya, the sun. When he was born shouts of hurrah arose, and all beings arose, and all things which they desired. Therefore whenever the sun rises and sets, shouts of hurrah arise, and all beings arise, and all things which they desire.

Translated by F. Max Müller

स य एतम् एवं विद्वान् आदित्यं ब्रह्मेत्य् उपास्ते । अभ्याशो ह यद् एनं साधवो घोषा आ च गच्छेयुर् उप च निम्रेडेरन् निम्रेडेरन्

sa ya etam evaṃ vidvān ādityaṃ brahmety upāste | abhyāśo ha yad enaṃ sādhavo ghoṣā ā ca gaccheyur upa ca nimreḍeran nimreḍeran

If any one knowing this meditates on the sun as Brahman, pleasant shouts will approach him and will continue, yea, they will continue.

Translated by F. Max Müller
