I was Manu and the Sun. I am the wise Kakṣīvān Ṛṣi. I nurture the
white bolt of lightning (or the Ṛṣi Kutsa). I am the ancient Kavi
Uśanā. O people, look at me! (i.e. you can also become enlightened
like me) (RV 4.26.1)
Having realized this truth, the Ṛṣi Vāmadeva declared “I was Manu and
the Sun” (Br Up 1.4.10)
O Agni, lead us on the right path as you O Lord are omniscient.
Destroy this stubborn sin from us, we bow to you profusely.(RV
1.189.1)
O God Agni, lead us on to prosperity by a good path, judging all our
deeds. Take away ugly sin from us. We shall say many prayers unto
thee.(Isa Up 18)
Two birds of beautiful feathers, very attached to each other, best
friends, sit on the same tree. Of them, one eats a tasty fruit, and
the other watches silently without eating(RV 1.164.20)
Two birds of beautiful plumage, who are inseparable friends, reside on
the self-same tree. Of these, one eats the fruits of the tree with
relish while the other looks on without eating.(Svet Up 4.6)
The Omniscient One (Jātavedā) is well-hidden in wood (or bodies) just
as an embryo is well-hidden in the womb of the pregnant. Agni is to be
worshipped everyday by the awakened (i.e. enlightened), offering human
beings.(RV 3.29.2)
The fire lodged in the aranis, as the foetus is well-borne by the
pregnant woman fit to be worshipped every day by watchful offerers and
other men. This verily is that.(Katha Up 2.1.8)
The Universal Person has a thousand heads, a thousand eyes and a
thousand feet. He envelops the earth all around but stays above it by
a measure of ten fingers .( RV 10.90.1)
That Infinite Being has a thousand heads, a thousand eyes and a thousand feet enveloping
the whole universe on all sides. He exists beyond ten fingers.(Svet Up 3.14)
The Universal Person is indeed all this, whatever was, and whatever
will be. He is the Lord of Immortality, and he grows by food.(RV
10.90.2)
That which is, that which was, and that which is yet to be - all this
is nothing but this Infinite Being. Though He grows beyond His own
nature into the form of the objective universe, He still remains the
lord of immortality.(Svet Up 3.15)
