The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Viṣṇusahasranāmastotram

Verse 561

नानाच्छन्दोगतिपथो गुह्योपनिषदासनः ।छाया पत्नीसहायो वै मणिमेरुरिवोच्छ्रितः ॥फलहेतुभूतान्यज्ञान् वाहयतीति यज्ञवाहनः ॥

In plain words

The metres of the Veda are the roads he travels; the secret Upaniṣad is the seat he sits on. Chāyā, his consort, stands beside him, and he towers like Meru cut from jewels. He carries the sacrifices — the very rites that yield their fruits — onward: and so he is Yajñavāhana, the bearer of sacrifice.

Close to the Sanskrit

He whose paths of movement are the various metres, whose seat is the secret Upaniṣad; accompanied indeed by his consort Chāyā, raised up like a Meru of jewels. He carries the sacrifices, which have become the causes of their fruits — thus, Yajñavāhana.
