स यो नाम ब्रह्मेत्युपास्ते यावन्नाम्नो गतं तत्रास्य यथाकामचारो भवति यो नाम ब्रह्मेत्युपास्तेऽस्ति भगवो नाम्नो भूय इति नाम्नो वाव भूयोऽस्तीति तन्मे भगवान्ब्रवीत्विति ॥ ७.१.५ ॥
In plain words
He who worships the name as Brahman moves at will so far as the name reaches, who worships the name as Brahman." "Is there, sir, anything greater than name?" "There is indeed something greater than name." "Tell me that, sir."
The commentators
Chāndogyopaniṣadbhāṣyam· bhāṣya
स यस्तु नाम ब्रह्मेत्युपास्ते, तस्य यत्फलं भवति, तच्छृणु — यावन्नाम्नो गतं नाम्नो गोचरं तत्र तस्मिन् नामविषये अस्य यथाकामचारः कामचरणं राज्ञ इव स्वविषये भवति । यो नाम ब्रह्मेत्युपास्ते इत्युपसंहारः । किमस्ति भगवः नाम्नो भूयः अधिकतरं यद्ब्रह्मदृष्ट्यर्हमन्यदित्यभिप्रायः । सनत्कुमार आह — नाम्नो वाव भूयः अस्त्येवेति । उक्तः आह — यद्यस्ति तन्मे भगवान्ब्रवीतु इति ॥
In plain words
Now hear what comes to the one who meditates on name as Brahman: wherever name reaches, in the whole realm of name, he moves as he wishes, the way a king moves freely through his own kingdom. The words 'he who meditates on name as Brahman' close the teaching. Nārada asks whether there is anything greater than name, anything higher that is fit to be seen as Brahman. Sanatkumāra answers that there certainly is something greater than name. Hearing this, Nārada says, 'If there is, let the venerable one tell it to me.'
Close to the Sanskrit
As for one who meditates on name as brahman, hear what fruit comes to him: as far as name reaches, the range of name, there, in that sphere of name, he moves at will, as a king moves as he pleases in his own realm. 'He who meditates on name as brahman' is the conclusion. 'Is there, venerable sir, anything greater than name?' — that is, anything higher, other than it, fit to be seen as brahman: this is the intent. Sanatkumāra says: 'There is indeed something greater than name.' So told, [Nārada] says: 'If there is, let the venerable one tell it to me.'
