The udg\u00eetha is the pranava 1, the pranava is the udg\u00eetha. And as the udg\u00eetha is the sun 2, So is the pranava, for he (the sun) goes sounding Om.\n2. 'Him I sang praises to, therefore art thou my only one,' thus said Kaush\u00eetaki to his son. 'Do thou revolve his rays, then thou wilt have many sons.' So much in reference to the Devas.\n3. Now with reference to the body. Let a man meditate on the udg\u00eetha as the breath (in the mouth), for he goes sounding Om 3.\n4. 'Him I sang praises to, therefore art thou my only son,' thus said Kaush\u00eetaki to his son. 'Do thou therefore sing praises to the breath as manifold, if thou wishest to have many sons.'\n5. He who knows that the udg\u00eetha is the pranava, and the pranava the udg\u00eetha, rectifies from the seat of the Hotri priest any mistake committed by the Udg\u00e2tri priest in performing the udg\u00eetha, yea, in performing the udg\u00eetha.\n12:1 Pranava is the name used chiefly by the followers of the Rig-veda, udg\u00eetha the name used by the followers of the S\u00e2ma-veda. Both words are intended for the syllable Om.\n12:2 Cf. Kh. Up. I, 3, 1.\n12:3 The breath in the mouth, or the chief breath, says Om, i. e. gives permission to the five senses to act, just as the sun, by saying Om, gives permission to all living beings to move about.","title":"The Upanishads, Part 1 (SBE01): Kh\u00e2ndogya Upanishad...","type":"page"}
