HARIH, OM! May Mitra be propitious to us, and Varuna, Aryaman also, Indra, Brihaspati, and the wide-striding Vishnu 2.\nAdoration to Brahman! Adoration to thee, O V\u00e2yu (air)! Thou indeed art the visible Brahman. I shall proclaim thee alone as the visible Brahman. I shall proclaim the right. I shall proclaim the true (scil. Brahman).\n(1-5) 3 May it protect me! May it protect the teacher! yes, may it protect me, and may it protect the teacher! Om! Peace! peace! peace!\n45:1 This invocation is here counted as an Anuv\u00e2ka; see Taitt. \u00c2r., ed. Rajendralal Mitra, p. 725.\n45:2 This verse is taken from Rig-veda-samhit\u00e2 I, 90, 9. The deities are variously explained by the commentators: Mitra as god of the Pr\u00e2na (forth-breathing) and of the day; Varuna as god of the Ap\u00e2na (off-breathing) and of the night. Aryaman is supposed to represent the eye or the sun; Indra, strength; Brihaspati, speech or intellect; Vishnu, the feet. Their favour is invoked, because it is only if they grant health that the study of the highest wisdom can proceed without fail.\n45:3 Five short sentences, in addition to the one paragraph. Such sentences occur at the end of other Anuv\u00e2kas also, and are counted separately.","title":"The Upanishads, Part 2 (SBE15): Taittir\u00eeyaka-Upanishad: I, 1","type":"page"}
