Then, moving away a little from the fire and holding the paste (mantha) in his hands, he recites: Thou (prana) art ama by name, for all this rests in thee. He (i.e. the paste, which is the same as the prana) is the oldest, the greatest, the king and the sovereign. May he make me the oldest, the greatest, the king and the sovereign. May I be all this!<\/p>\n

Having cleansed the vessel made of metal or wood, he lies down behind the fire, on a skin or on the bare ground, controlling his speech and self-possessed. If he sees a woman in a dream, then let him know that his work (rite) has been a success.<\/p>\n
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad V, II – The Mantha Rite, 7<\/p>\n
