1 Turn no one away from lodging. That is the vow. Therefore, by whatever means, obtain abundant food. They say, "Food has been made ready for him."When food is prepared in the best way, food is prepared for him in the best way. When food is prepared in a middling way, food is prepared for him in a middling way. When food is prepared in the poorest way,food is prepared for him in the poorest way.
2 Whoever knows in this way knows it as preservation in speech; as acquisition and preservation in the incoming and outgoing breaths; as action in the hands; as movement in the feet; as release in the anus.These are the human designations. Now the divine: as satisfaction in rain; as strength in lightning;
3 as renown in cattle; as light in the stars; as procreation, immortality, and bliss in the generative organ; as all in space. Contemplate it as foundation: one gains a foundation.Contemplate it as greatness: one becomes great. Contemplate it as mind: one becomes thoughtful.
4 Contemplate it as homage: desires bow before one. Contemplate it as Brahman: one becomes endowed with Brahman. Contemplate it as Brahman's power of destruction:one's hateful rivals die all around, and one's hostile kinsmen. He who is here in the person and he who is there in the sun are one.
5 Whoever knows in this way, departing from this world, having passed into this self made of food, having passed into this self made of life-breath, having passed into this self made of mind,having passed into this self made of understanding, having passed into this self made of bliss, moves through these worlds, eating as he desires, taking forms as he desires,and sits singing this Saman: "Ha-a-u! Ha-a-u! Ha-a-u!
6 I am food! I am food! I am food! I am the eater of food! I am the eater of food! I am the eater of food! I am the maker of song! I am the maker of song! I am the maker of song! I am the firstborn of right order,born before the gods, the navel of immortality. Whoever gives me away has indeed protected me. I, food, eat the eater of food. I have overcome the whole world.I shine with golden light." Such is the one who knows in this way. Such is the secret teaching.
Om. May that protect us both; may that nourish us both. May we work together with vigor. May our study be radiant; may we not hate one another.Om. Peace, peace, peace.
Thus the Taittiriya Upanishad is complete.
Plain English translation
Mouseia’s complete machine-assisted Plain English translation, made independently and directly from the Sanskrit, covering all three vallīs and 31 anuvākas with the supplied invocations and colophon. Source-language review and one documented Sanskrit repair are recorded in the source registry.
1 Do not turn anyone away from lodging. That is the rule. So obtain plenty of food by whatever means you can. People say, "Food has been prepared for him."If the food prepared is of the highest quality, food of the highest quality is prepared for him. If it is of average quality, food of average quality is prepared for him. If it is of the lowest quality,food of the lowest quality is prepared for him.
2 So it is for whoever knows this. Know it as security in speech, as gaining and keeping in breathing in and out, as action in the hands, as movement in the feet, and as release in the anus.These are its names in human beings. Now for its divine names: as satisfaction in rain, as strength in lightning,
3 as reputation in livestock, as light in the stars, as procreation, immortality, and joy in the genitals, and as everything in space. Meditate on it as a foundation. You become firmly established.Meditate on it as greatness. You become great. Meditate on it as mind. You become thoughtful.
4 Meditate on it as respect. Desirable things bow to you. Meditate on it as Brahman. You become endowed with Brahman. Meditate on it as Brahman's power of destruction.Your hostile opponents die all around you, as do your hated rival relatives. The one here in a person and the one there in the sun are one and the same.
5 Whoever knows this, after leaving this world and reaching this self made of food, this self made of breath, and this self made of mind,after reaching this self made of understanding and this self made of joy, travels through these worlds, eating whatever he wants and taking whatever form he wants.He sits singing this chant: "Ha-a-u! Ha-a-u! Ha-a-u!
6 I am food, I am food, I am food. I am the eater of food, I am the eater of food, I am the eater of food. I make the verse, I make the verse, I make the verse. I am the firstborn of truth.I was born before the gods. I am the center of immortality. Whoever gives me has truly protected me. I am food; I eat the one who eats food. I have overcome the whole world.I am golden light." So it is for whoever knows this. This is the Upanishad.
Om. May he protect us both. May he nourish us both. May we work together with strength. May our study be brilliant. May we not hate each other.Om. Peace, peace, peace.
Here ends the Taittiriya Upanishad.
