Kena
Upanishad
Translated
by F. Max Müller
|
Third
Khanda
|
1.
Brahman obtained the victory for the Devas. The Devas
became elated by the victory of Brahman, and they thought,
this victory is ours only, this greatness is ours only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.
Brahman perceived this and appeared to them. But they
did not know it, and said: 'What sprite (yaksha or yakshya)
is this ?'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.
They said to Agni (fire): 'O Gatavedas, find out what
sprite this is.' 'Yes,' he said.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4.
He ran toward it, and Brahman said to him: 'Who are
you?' He replied: 'I am Agni, I am Gatavedas.'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.
Brahman said: 'What power is in you?' Agni replied:
'I could burn all whatever there is on earth.'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6.
Brahman put a straw before him, saying: 'Burn this.'
He went towards it with all his might, but he could
not burn it. Then he returned thence and said: 'I could
not find out what sprite this is.'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Then they said to Vayu (air): 'O Vayu, find out what
sprite this is.' 'Yes,'he said.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8.
He ran toward it, and Brahman said to him: 'Who are
you?' He replied: 'I am V'ayu, I am Matarisvan.'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
9.
Brahman said: 'What power is in you?' Vayu replied:
'I could take up all whatever there is on earth.'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10.
Brahman put a straw before him, saying: 'Take it up.'
He went towards it with all his might, but he could
not take it up. Then he returned thence and said: 'I
could not find out what sprite this is.'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 11.
Then they said to Indra: 'O Maghavan, find out what sprite
this is.' He went towards it, but it disappeared from
before him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 12.
Then in the same space (ether) he came towards a woman,
highly adorned: it was Uma, the daughter of Himavat. He
said to her: 'Who is that sprite?' |
