________________ I ADHYAYA, 7. 279 senses are Tyam. Therefore by that name Sattya (true) is called all this whatever there is. All this thou art.' 7. This is also declared by a verse: 'This great Rishi, whose belly is the Yagus, the head the Saman, the form the Rik, is to be known as being imperishable, as being Brahman.' Brahman says to him: 'How dost thou obtain my male names ?' He should answer : ‘By breath (prânah).' Brahman asks: 'How my female names ?' He should answer : ‘By speech (vâk).' Brahman asks: 'How my neuter names ?' He should answer : 'By mind (manas).' How smells ?' 'By the nose.' 'How forms ?' * By the eye.' 'How sounds ?' 'By the ear.' How flavours of food ?' 'By the tongue.' 'How actions ?' 'By the hands.' How pleasures and pain ?' 'By the body.' 'How joy, delight, and offspring ?' 'By the organ.' 'How journeyings ?' * By the feet.' 'How thoughts, and what is to be known and desired ?' * By knowledge (pragña) alone.' Brahman says to him : Water indeed is this my world 1, the whole Brahman world, and it is thine.' Whatever victory, whatever might belongs to Brahman, that victory and that might he obtains who knows this, yea, who knows this. * It sprang from water and the other elements. Comm. Professor Weber proposes to translate åpah by Erlangungen, acquisitions, with reference to apnoshi, 'how dost thou acquire my names?' in what precedes. 3.Who knows the conditioned and mythological form of Bra!:man as here described, sitting on the couch.
