Whatever these creatures are, here in this world-a tiger, a lion, a wolf, a boar, a worm, a fly, a gnat, or a mosquito-that they become again.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad VI, IX – The Absence of Individuality in Deep Sleep, 3
These rivers, my dear, flow-the eastern toward the east and the western toward the west. They arise from the sea and flow into the sea. Just as these rivers, while they are in the sea, do not know: ’I am this river’ or ’I am that river,’ Even so, my dear, all these creatures, even though they have come from Pure Being, do not know that they have come from Pure Being. Whatever these creatures are, here in this world-a tiger, a lion, a wolf a boar, a worm, a fly, a gnat, or a mosquito, that they become again.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad VI, X – The Absence of Particularized Consciousness in Deep Sleep, 1-
O Lord of the wood, whom this ax well-whetted has set in our midst with resultant joy, put forth branches a hundred times over! So may we also with thousands be blessed!
Rig Veda III, 8, 11
How worthy of telling and how superb your birth, O Steed, when first you whinnied, on seeing the light, as you rose from the ocean of sea or of space with your eagle wings and limbs of swift gazelle.
Rig Veda I, 163, 1
This Steed, the gift of Death, Trita has harnessed, while Indra was the first of all to mount him, the Gandharva first to grasp in his hands the reins. From the substance of the Sun, O Gods, you fashioned this Steed.
Rig Veda I, 163, 2
