III ÂRANYAKA, I ADHYAYA, 6 KHANDA, 13. 255
5. This has also been declared by a Rishi (Rv. X, 181, 1; and Rv. X, 181, 2) :
6. Vasishtha carried hither the Rathantara ; 'Bharadväga brought hither the Brihat of Agni.
7. He who thus knows this Samhità (union), becomes united with offspring, cattle, fame, glory of countenance, and the world of Svarga. He lives his full age.
8. Kauntharavya said: 'Speech is united with breath, breath with the blowing air, the blowing air with the Visvedevas, the Visvedevas with the heavenly world, the heavenly world with Brahman. That Samhità is called the gradual Samhita.'
9. He who knows this gradual Samhità (union), becomes united with offspring, cattle, fame, glory of countenance, and the world of Svarga, in exactly the same manner as this Samhità, i.e. gradually.
10. If that worshipper, whether for his own sake or for that of another, recites (the Samhita), let him know when he is going to recite, that this Samhità went up to heaven, and that it will be even so with those who by knowing it become Devas. May it always be so !
11. He who thus knows this Samhità (union), becomes united with offspring, cattle, fame, glory of countenance, and the world of Svarga. He lives his full age.
12. Pañkalakanda said: 'The Samhità (union, composition) is speech.'
13. Verily, by speech the Vedas, by speech the metres are composed. Friends unite through speech, all beings unite through speech; therefore speech is everything here?
* Everything can be obtained by speech in this life and in the next. Comm.
