Mantra 2

न हाप्सु प्रैत्यप्सुमान्भवति य एतदेवं विद्वान्सर्वास्वप्सु पञ्चविधंसामोपास्ते ॥ २.४.२ ॥

In plain words

He does not die in water and comes to have water in plenty, who knowing this worships the fivefold Sāman in all the waters.

The commentators

Chāndogyopaniṣadbhāṣyam· bhāṣya

न ह अप्सु प्रैति । नेच्छति चेत् । अप्सुमान् अम्मान्भ- वति फलम् ॥

In plain words

He does not come to harm in the waters. Should someone ask: if he does not wish it—he becomes possessed of waters. This is the fruit.

Close to the Sanskrit

Not indeed does he go to harm in the waters. If not, he desires. He becomes possessed of waters; the fruit.
