a golden beard and golden hair

'Now, the white light of the Sun is sa and the blue, exceding darkness, is ama. That makes Saman. Now that golden person who is seen within the sun, has a golden beard and golden hair. All is golden to the tips of the nails.

His eyes are even as a red lotus flower. His name is high (ut). He has risen above all evil. Verily, he who knows this, rises above evil.'

'Chandogya Upanisad, Section 6, from The Principal Upanisads, translated from the Sanskrit by S. Radhakrishnan, 1953.
