Chandogya Upanishad

Prapathaka III, Khanda 10
Hindu trans. Max Müller • c. c. 800-600 BCE (translation 1879)
1
On the fifth of these nectars the Sâdhyas live, with Brahman at their head. True, the Devas do not eat or drink, but they enjoy by seeing the nectar.
2
They enter into that colour, and they rise from that colour.
3
He who thus knows this nectar, becomes one of the Sâdhyas, with Brahman at their head; he sees the nectar and rejoices. And he, having entered that colour, rises again from that colour.
4
So long as the sun rises in the north and sets in the south, twice as long does it rise above, and set below; and so long does he follow the sovereign power of the Sâdhyas .
