The Upanishads, Part 1

By Max Müller

---

II, 7

SEVENTH KHANDA.
1. Let a man meditate on the fivefold Sâman, which is greater than great, as the prânas (senses). The hi?kâra is smell 1 (nose), the prastâva speech (tongue), the udgîtha sight (eye), the pratihâra hearing (ear), the nidhana mind. These are one greater than the other.

2. What is greater than great belongs to him, nay, he conquers the worlds which are greater than great, who knowing this meditates on the fivefold Sâman, which is greater than great, as the prânas (senses).

Footnotes
25:1 Prâna is explained by ghrâna, smell; possibly ghrâna may have been the original reading. Anyhow, it cannot be the mukhya prâna here, because it is distinctly represented as the lowest sense.
