Chāndogya Upaniṣad 8.14

आकाशो वै नाम नामरूपयोर् निर्वहिता । ते यदन्तरा तद् ब्रह्म तद् अमृतं स आत्मा । प्रजापतेः सभां वेश्म प्रपद्ये यशो ऽहं भवामि ब्राह्मणानां यशो राज्ञाम् यशो विशाम् । यशो ऽहम् अनुप्रापत्सि । स हाहं यशसां यशः । श्येतम् अदत्कम् अदत्कं श्येतं लिन्दु माभिगां लिन्दु माभिगाम्

ākāśo vai nāma nāmarūpayor nirvahitā | te yadantarā tad brahma tad amṛtaṃ sa ātmā | prajāpateḥ sabhāṃ veśma prapadye yaśo 'haṃ bhavāmi brāhmaṇānāṃ yaśo rājñām yaśo viśām | yaśo 'ham anuprāpatsi | sa hāhaṃ yaśasāṃ yaśaḥ | śyetam adatkam adatkaṃ śyetaṃ lindu mābhigāṃ lindu mābhigām

He who is called ether (âkâsa) is the revealer of all forms and names. That within which these forms and names are contained is the Brahman, the Immortal, the Self. I come to the hall of Pragâpati, to the house; I am the glorious among Brâhmans, glorious among princes, glorious among men. I obtained that glory, I am glorious among the glorious. May I never go to the white, toothless, yet devouring, white abode; may I never go to it.
