'I am he who shakes the tree (i.e. the tree of the world, which has to be cut down by knowledge).
My glory is like the top of a mountain.
I, whose pure light (of knowledge) has risen high, am that which is truly immortal, as it resides in the sun.
I am the brightest treasure.
I am wise, immortal, imperishable.'
This is the teaching of the Veda, by the poet Trisaṅku.
