in the Vedantas.  These men, devoted to the regulation of the breaths, always meditate on thee and at last enter into thee as their highest end.  Riding on the car made of Om, those men enter into Maheswara.  Of that which is called the Devayana (the path of the deities) thou art the door called Aditya.  Thou art again, the door, called Chandramas, of that which is called the Pitriyana (the path of the Pitris).[84] Thou art Kashtha, thou art the points of the horizon, thou art the year, and thou art the Yugas.  Thine is the sovereignty of the heavens, thine is the sovereignty of the Earth, thou art the Northern and the Southern declensions.  The Grandsire Brahma in days of yore uttered thy praises, O thou that art called Nilarohita (blue and red), by reciting diverse hymns and urged thee to create living creatures.  Brahmanas conversant with Richs praise thee by uttering Richs, regarding thee as unattached to all things and as divested of all forms.  Adhyaryus, in sacrifices, pour libations, uttering Yajushes the while, in honour of thee that art the sole object of knowledge, according to the three well-known ways.[85] Persons of cleansed understandings, that are conversant with Samans, sing thee with the aid of Samans.  Those regenerate persons, again, that are conversant with the Atharvans, hymn thee as Rita, as Truth, as the Highest, and as Brahma.  Thou art the highest cause, whence Sacrifice has flowed.  Thou art the Lord, and thou art Supreme.  The night and day are thy sense of hearing and sense of sight.  The fortnights and months are thy head and arms.  The seasons are thy energy, penances are thy patience, and the year is thy anus, thighs and feet.  Thou art Mrityu. thou art Yama, thou art Hutasana, thou art Kala, thou art endued with speed in respect of destruction, thou art the original cause of Time, and thou art eternal Time.  Thou art Chandramas and Aditya. with all the stars and planets and the atmosphere that fills space.  Thou art the pole-star, thou art constellation called the seven Rishis, thou art the seven regions beginning with Bhu.  Thou art Pradhana and Mahat, thou art Unmanifest, and thou art this world.  Thou art the universe beginning with Brahman and ending with the lowest forms of vegetation.  Thou art the beginning or original cause of all creatures.  Thou art the eight Prakritis.[86] Thou art, again, above the eight Prakritis.  Everything that exists, represents a portion of thy divine Self.  Thou art that supreme Felicity which is also Eternal.  Thou art the end which is attained to by all things.  Thou art that highest existence which is sought for by the Righteous.  Thou art that state which is freed from every anxiety.  Thou art eternal Brahman!  Thou art that highest state which constitutes the meditation of persons learned in the scriptures and the Vedangas.  Thou art the highest Kashtha, thou art the highest Kala.  Thou art the highest Success, and thou art the highest Refuge.  Thou art the highest Tranquillity.  Thou art the highest cessation
