That splendor that resides in an elephant, in a king among men, or within the waters, with which the Gods in the beginning came to godhood, with that same splendor make me splendid, O Lord.<\/p>\n
Atharva Veda III, 22, 3<\/p>\n
O All-Knowing God, that powerful strength with which sacrifice endows you, the strength of the sun, the strength of the elephant, King among men– may the two Spirits, garlanded with lotus, vouchsafe that to me!<\/p>\n
Atharva Veda III, 22, 4<\/p>\n
From the four directions, as far as the eye can direct its gaze, may that force, that elephant splendor, assemble and concentrate its virtue in me.<\/p>\n
Atharva Veda III, 22, 5<\/p>\n
He is also called Bhamani, for he shines (bhati) in all the worlds. He who knows this shines in all the worlds.<\/p>\n
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad IV, XV – Instruction by the Teacher, 4<\/p>\n

There a person who is not a human being meets him and leads him to Brahman. This is the Path of the Gods (Devayana), the path leading to Brahman. Those who travel by it do not return to the whirl of humanity, yea, they do not return.<\/p>\n
