Library·Chāndogya Upaniṣad·3·3.5
अथ ये ऽस्योर्ध्वा रश्मयस् ता एवास्योर्ध्वा मधुनाड्यः । गुह्या एवादेशा मधुकृतः । ब्रह्मैव पुष्पं । ता अमृता आपः
atha ye 'syordhvā raśmayas tā evāsyordhvā madhunāḍyaḥ | guhyā evādeśā madhukṛtaḥ | brahmaiva puṣpaṃ | tā amṛtā āpaḥ
The upward rays of the sun are the honey-cells above. The secret doctrines are the bees, Brahman (the Om) is the flower, the water is the nectar.
Translated by F. Max Müller
ते वा एते गुह्या आदेशा एतद् ब्रह्माभ्यतपन् । तस्याभितप्तस्य यशस् तेज इन्द्रियं वीर्यम् अन्नाद्यं रसो ऽजायत
te vā ete guhyā ādeśā etad brahmābhyatapan | tasyābhitaptasya yaśas teja indriyaṃ vīryam annādyaṃ raso 'jāyata
Those secret doctrines (as bees) brooded over Brahman (the Om); and from it, thus brooded on, sprang as its (nectar) essence, fame, glory of countenance, brightness, vigour, strength, and health.
Translated by F. Max Müller
तद् व्यक्षरत् । तद् आदित्यम् अभितो ऽश्रयत् । तद् वा एतद् यद् एतद् आदित्यस्य मध्ये क्षोभत इव
tad vyakṣarat | tad ādityam abhito 'śrayat | tad vā etad yad etad ādityasya madhye kṣobhata iva
That flowed forth, and went towards the sun. And that forms what seems to stir in the centre of the sun.
Translated by F. Max Müller
ते वा एते रसानां रसाः । वेदा हि रसाः । तेषाम् एते रसाः । तानि वा एतान्य् अमृतानाम् अमृतानि । वेदा ह्य् अमृताः । तेषाम् एतान्य् अमृतानि
te vā ete rasānāṃ rasāḥ | vedā hi rasāḥ | teṣām ete rasāḥ | tāni vā etāny amṛtānām amṛtāni | vedā hy amṛtāḥ | teṣām etāny amṛtāni
These (the different colours in the sun) are the essences of the essences. For the Vedas are essences (the best things in the world); and of them (after they have assumed the form of sacrifice) these (the colours rising to the sun) are again the essences. They are the nectar of the nectar. For the Vedas are nectar (immortal), and of them these are the nectar.
