never perish here they say if men think that by knowledge of brahman they will become everything what then did that brahman know from whence all this sprang verily in the beginning this was brahman that brahman knew itself only saying i am brahman from it all this sprang thus whatever deva was awakened so as to know brahman he indeed became that brahman and the same with rishis and men The Rishi Brahmadeva saw and understood it, singing, I was Manu, moon, I was the sun.

Therefore now also he who thus knows that he is Brahman becomes all this, and even the Devas cannot prevent it, for he himself is their self.

Now if a man worships another deity, thinking the deity is one and he another, he does not know.

Likewise, this bright immortal person in this Self and that bright immortal person, the Self, both are Madhu.

He indeed is the same as that Self, that immortal, that Brahman, that All.

and verily this self is the lord of all beings the king of all beings and as all spokes are contained in the axle and in the valley of a wheel all beings and all those selves of earth water etc are contained in that self verily dadyak atarvana proclaimed this honey the madhu vidya to the two aswins and a rishi seeing this said o ye two heroes aswins i make manifest that fearful deed of yours which you performed for the sake of gain like a thunder makes manifest the rain the honey madhu vidya which dadyak atharvana proclaimed to you through the head of a horse Verily, Dadyak Atharvana proclaimed this honey to the two Aswins, and a Rishi, seeing this, said, O Aswins, you fixed a horse's head on Atharvana Dadyak, and he, wishing to be true to his promise, proclaimed to you the honey, both that of Tavastri and that which is to be your secret, O ye strong ones.

verily dadyak atarvana proclaimed this honey to the two aswins and a rishi seeing this said he the lord made bodies with two feet he made bodies with four feet having first become a bird he entered the bodies as purusha as the person This very Purusha is in all bodies.

there is the water in the eye and by it parjanya clings to him there is the pupil and by it aditya sun clings to him there is the dark iris and by it agni clings to him there is the white eyeball and by it indra clings to him with the lower eyelash the earth with the upper eyelash the heaven clings to him he who knows this his food does never perish on this there is this sloka there is a cup having its mouth below and its bottom above manifold glory has been placed into it on its lip sit the seven rishis the tongue as the eighth communicates with brahman what is called the cup having its mouth below and its bottom above is this head for its mouth the mouth is below its bottom the skull is above when it is said that manifold glory has been placed into it the senses verily are manifold glory and he therefore means the senses When he says that the seven rishis sit on its lip, the rishis are verily the active senses, and he means the senses.

And when he says that the tongue as the eighth communicates with Brahman, it is because the tongue as the eighth does communicate with Brahman.

These two, the two years, are the Rishis, Gautama and Bharadwaja.

The right Gautama, the left Bharadwaja.
