Prashna Upanishad

5.7

Translation by Swami Sivananda
7 The wise man, meditating on AUM, attains this world by means of the rik verses; the intermediate world by means of the yajur verses; and that which is known to the seers by means of the sama verses. And also through the syllable AUM he realises that which is tranquil, free from decay, death and fear and which is the Highest. 

Translation by Max Mueller
7. Through the Rik-verses he arrives at this world, through the Yagus-verses at the sky, through the Sâman-verses at that which the poets teach,–he arrives at this by means of the Oṅkâra; the wise arrives at that which is at rest, free from decay, from death, from fear,–the Highest.
