by meditating on 'om' (udgitha ) as sun which is prana.
chandogya upnishad 1.3
1. Now is described the meditation on the Udgitha with reference to the gods: One should meditate on the Udgitha as the sun who gives warmth. When he (the sun) rises he sings the Udgitha for the benefit of all creatures. When he rises he destroys darkness and fear. He who knows this becomes the destroyer of darkness and fear.
2. This prana and that sun are the same. This is warm and that is warm. This they call svara (what goes out) and that, pratyasvara (what returns). Therefore one should meditate on the Udgitha as this and that.
nirukta 2.14
svar means the sun; it is distant, it has well disporsed ( the darkness ), it has well penetrated the fluids, it has well penetrated the light, of the luminaries, or it is pierced through with light. dyauh ( sky) is explained by the same. prasni means the sun. it is thoroughly pervaded by the bright color says the etymologists. it closely unites the fluids, it closely unites the light of luminaries or it is closely united with lights. now sky ( is so called ) because it is closely united with luminaries and the virtuous. naka means the sun [ the bearer of fluids ], bearer of lights, leader of luminaries. now the sky: the word kam is synonym of happiness.
there is no misery for the man who has departed to the other world.
there is no wretchedness for the man who has departed to the other world; it is virtuous only who go there. gauh means the sun; it causes fluids to move, it moves in the sky. now the sky ( is called gauh ) because it is gone very far from the earth or because luminaries move in it. vistap means the sun: it has pervaded fluids, it has pervaded the lights of luminaries, or it is pervaded with lights. nabhas means the sun: [bearer of fluids ], bearer of lights, leader of luminaries, and the virtuous. or else it may be word bhanas, itself in reversed order: it is not that it does not shine. the sky is explained by same.
