These very hymns of the Atharvangirasa heated the Itihasa-purana. From it, thus heated, issued forth-as its essence-fame, radiance, vigour of the senses, virility and the food that is eaten.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad III, IV – The Honey-Doctrine (Atharva-Veda), 2
That flowed forth and went toward the sun. That forms what is called the extremely dark colour of the sun.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad III, IV – The Honey-Doctrine (Atharva-Veda), 3
Now, the upward rays of the sun are the honey-cells above. The secret teachings of the Upanishads are the bees. Brahman (Om) is flower. The water is the nectar.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad III, V – The Honey-Doctrine (Continued), 1
These secret teachings as the bees heated Brahman (Om). From It, thus heated, issued forth-as Its essence-fame, radiance, vigour of the senses, virility and the food that is eaten.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad III, V – The Honey-Doctrine (Continued), 2
That flowed forth and went towards the sun. That forms what appears to stir in the centre of the sun.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad III, V – The Honey-Doctrine (Continued), 3
