The hi\u1e45k\u00e2ra is the threefold knowledge, the prast\u00e2va these three worlds, the udg\u00eetha Agni (fire), V\u00e2yu (air), and \u00c2ditya (sun), the pratih\u00e2ra the stars, the birds, and the rays, the nidhana the serpents, Gandharvas, and fathers. That is the S\u00e2man, as interwoven in everything.\n2. He who thus knows this S\u00e2man, as interwoven in everything, he becomes everything.\n3. And thus it is said in the following verse: There are the fivefold three (the three kinds of sacrificial knowledge, the three worlds &c. in their fivefold form, i. e. as identified with the hi\u1e45k\u00e2ra, the prast\u00e2va, &c.), and the other forms of the S\u00e2man. Greater than these there is nothing else besides.'\n4. He who knows this, knows everything. All regions offer him gifts. His rule is, 'Let him meditate (on the S\u00e2man), knowing that he is. everything, yea, that he is everything 1.'\n33:1 Here ends the S\u00e2mop\u00e2sana.","title":"The Upanishads, Part 1 (SBE01): Kh\u00e2ndogya Upanishad: II, 21","type":"page"}
