"The Upanishads, Part 1 (sbe01)\", by Max Mller, [1879],
Twenty-first Kha\"N"D"A.
1. The hikra is the threefold knowledge, the prastva these three worlds, the udgtha Agni (fire), Vyu (air), and ditya (sun), the pratihra the stars, the birds, and the rays, the nidhana the serpents, Gandharvas, and fathers. That is the Sman, as interwoven in everything.
2. He who thus knows this Sman, as interwoven in everything, he becomes everything.
p. 33
3. And thus it is said in the following verse: There are the fivefold three (the three kinds of sacrificial knowledge, the three worlds &c. in their fivefold form, i. e. as identified with the hikra, the prastva, &c.), and the other forms of the Sman. Greater than these there is nothing else besides.'
4. He who knows this, knows everything. All regions offer him gifts. His rule is, 'Let him meditate (on the Sman), knowing that he is. everything, yea, that he is everything 1.'
