Chandogya Upanishad 8.12

अथ यदि गन्धमाल्यलोककामो भवति सङ्कल्पादेवास्य गन्धमाल्ये समुत्तिष्ठतस्तेन गन्धमाल्यलोकेन सम्पन्नो महीयते ॥ ६ ॥

8.2.6 — atha yadi gandhamalyalokakamo bhavati sankalpadevasya gandhamalye samuttishthatastena gandhamalyalokena sampanno mahiyate || 6 ||

'And he who desires the world of perfumes and garlands (gandhamâlya), by his mere will perfumes and garlands come to him, and having obtained the world of perfumes and garlands, he is happy.

'यदि गन्ध-माल्य-लोक की कामना करे, तो उसके संकल्प से ही गन्ध और माल्य उपस्थित होते हैं; उस गन्ध-माल्य-लोक से सम्पन्न होकर वह महिमान्वित होता है।'
