The worlds in an ascending and in a descending line belong to him who knowing this meditates on the fivefold Sâman as the worlds.
Khandogya Upanishad
Prapathaka 2. Khanda 2.
1. Let a man meditate on the fivefold Sâman as the five worlds. The hiṅkâra is, the earth, the prastâva the fire, the udgîtha the sky, the pratihâra the sun, the nidhana heaven; so in an ascending line.
2. In a descending line, the hiṅkâra is heaven,
the prastâva the sun, the udgîtha the sky, the pratihâra the fire, the nidhana the earth.
3. The worlds in an ascending and in a descending line belong to him who knowing this meditates on the fivefold Sâman as the worlds.
