Chandogya

The Chandogya Upanishad is notable for its lilting metric structure, its mention of ancient cultural elements such as musical instruments, and embedded philosophical premises that later served as foundation for Vedanta schools.

Ninth Khanda

Thus, after the fifth oblation, water becomes known as ‘man.’ The foetus lies within the mother’s womb, covered with membrane, for about nine or ten months, and then it is born.

When a person is born, he lives as long as he is destined to live. Then, when he dies as ordained, they (his sons or disciples) take him from his home to the fire from which he came. It is that same fire from which he was born (and to which he owes his birth).
