The Upanishads - Mandhata Global

1
Meditation on the Vasus
On the first of these nectars the Vasus live, with Agni
(fire) at their head. Truly, the gods do not eat or drink.
They are satisfied by merely looking at the nectar.
2
They retire into that red colour and rise up from that
colour.
3
He who thus knows this nectar becomes one of the
Vasus, with Agni (fire) at their head; he is satisfied by
merely looking at the nectar. He retires into that red
colour and again rises up from that colour.
4
As long as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west,
so long does he, like the Vasus, enjoy rulership and
sovereignty.
