Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
He who meditates on ether as Brahman, obtains the worlds of ether and of light, which are free from pressure and pain, wide and spacious; he is, as it were, lord and master as far as ether reaches — he who meditates on ether as Brahman.' 'Sir, is there something better than ether?' 'Yes, there is something better than ether.' 'Sir, tell it me.'
Translated by F. Max Müller
