Kaivalya Upanishad: Verse 8
स ब्रह्मा स शिवः सेन्द्रः सोऽक्षरः परमः स्वराट् ।
स एव विष्णुः स प्राणः स कालोऽग्निः स चन्द्रमाः ॥
सः । ब्रह्मा । सः । शिवः । स-इन्द्रः । सः । अक्षरः । परमः । स्वराट् ।
सः । एव । विष्णुः । सः । प्राणः । सः । कालः । अग्निः । सः । चन्द्रमाः ।
sa brahmā sa śivaḥ sendraḥ so'kṣaraḥ paramaḥ svarāṭ |
sa eva viṣṇuḥ sa prāṇaḥ sa kālo'gniḥ sa candramāḥ ||
พระองค์คือพรหมา พระองค์คือศิวะ พระองค์คืออินทระด้วย; พระองค์คืออักษร ผู้ไม่เสื่อมสลาย เป็นผู้สูงสุด ผู้ปกครองตนเอง (สวราฏ). พระองค์เองคือวิษณุ พระองค์คือปราณ (ลมหายใจชีวิต) พระองค์คือกาลเวลา พระองค์คืออัคนี (ไฟ) และพระองค์คือจันทรา (ดวงจันทร์).
He is Brahmā; He is Śiva; He is (with) Indra; He is the imperishable; the supreme, self-ruling (sovereign). He indeed is Viṣṇu; He is prāṇa; He is Time; (He is) Fire; He is the Moon.
