Advancing in the East, withdrawing in the West, it turns on one wheel, one rim, a thousand elements. With a half of itself it begat all creation. What has become of the half that remained?
Atharva Veda X, 8, 7
The five-horsed chariot draws onward all creatures with fleet-footed side horses pulling from the rear. One sees of it the not yet vanished portion, not the vanished. The Beyond appears nearer, the Before more distant.
Atharva Veda X, 8, 8
A bowl there is with aperture at side and base upturned; within it is accumulated every form of glory. Upon it on their seven thrones are set the Seven Sages, appointed as protectors of this whole vast sphere.
Atharva Veda X, 8, 9
The verse hitched in front and the verse hitched behind, the verse hitched to each and to every portion, the verse through which the sacrifice proceeds to consummation– which is it, I ask you, of all the verses?
Atharva Veda X, 8, 10
The akasa is, verily, greater than fire. For in the akasa exist both the sun and the moon, lightning, stars and fire. It is through the akasa that a person calls another; it is through the akasa that the other hears; it is through the akasa that the person hears back. In the akasa we rejoice when we are together and in the akasa we rejoice not when we are separated. In the akasa everything is born and toward the akasa all things grow. Meditate upon the akasa.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad VII, XII – The Akasa as Brahman, 1
