Chandogya Upanishad, one of the oldest Upanishad has been written during the Vedic Brahmana period. Chandogya Upanishad is associated with Sama Veda. Chandogya Upanishad is the part of Chandogya Brahaman that contains ten chapters. The 17th Khanda of Chapter Five of Chandogya Upanishad states about the feet of the Vaisvanara Self. Aswapati asked Uddalaka, the son of Aruna that on whom does he meditate as the Self. Uddalaka replied that it is on earth that he meditates. The king said that the Self that he meditates upon is called Pratishtha (the support). It is for this reason that he is supported by offspring and cattle, eats food and sees what is pleasing. Whoever thus meditates on the Vaisvanara Self eats food, sees what is pleasing and has in his family the glory of Brahman. One who thus, meditates on the Vaisvanara Self eats food, sees what is pleasing and has in his family the glory of Brahman. The earth is the feet of that Soul.
