Eater of Food

Taittiriya-Upanishad (3.10.6-7)

Oh, wonderful! Oh, wonderful!
Oh, wonderful!
I am Food! I am Food!
I am Food!
I am the Food-Eater! I am the Food-Eater!
I am the Food-Eater!
I am the Maker of Poetry! I am the Maker of Poetry!
I am the Maker of Poetry!
I am the first-born of the cosmic Order,
prior to the Gods [residing]
in the hub of immortality!
He who gives Me [as food],
he indeed has preserved Me!
I, who am Food, eat the Eater of Food!
I have overcome the whole world!
[My] effulgence is like the sun.
