Verse 1.127
Sanskrit text and transliteration:

English translation of verse 1.127:

Notes:
Verses (127) to (131) cover the seventh anuvāka of the Upaniṣad.
In the previous anuvāka meditation on Brahman in the form of Hiraṇyagarbha who is said to be manomaya, etc., was taught. Such a meditation on Brahman who is endowed with qualities not perceivable by the eye is fit for those aspirants who are second-rate or middling (madhyama). The Upaniṣad now proceeds to teach in the seventh anuvāka meditation on the same Hiraṇyagarbha as endowed with qualities perceptible to the eye with a view to help aspirants who are inferior (mandamatīnām upakārāya).
