Chāndogyopaniṣadbhāṣyam

Verse 345

स योऽन्नं ब्रह्मेत्युपास्तेऽन्नवतो वै सलोकान्पानवतोऽभिसिध्यति यावदन्नस्यगतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवतियोऽन्नं ब्रह्मेत्युपास्तेऽस्ति भगवोऽन्नाद्भूइत्यन्नाद्वाव भूयोऽस्तीति तन्मे भगवा-न्ब्रवीत्विति ॥

In plain words

He who meditates on food as Brahman attains worlds rich in food and drink, and enjoys complete freedom wherever food extends. 'Is there anything greater than food, revered sir?' 'Indeed, there is something greater than food.' 'May the revered sir declare that to me.'

Close to the Sanskrit

He who meditates upon food as Brahman verily attains worlds possessing food and drink; as far as the extent of food goes, there he has freedom of movement—he who meditates upon food as Brahman. 'Is there, O venerable one, anything greater than food?' 'There is indeed something greater than food.' 'That let the venerable one declare to me.'
