The thirteen / Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upanishad / Adhyāya 1 · Brāhmaṇa 3

BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 1.3.23

एष उ वा उद्गीथः ।
प्राणो वा उत् प्राणेन हीदं सर्वम् उत्तब्धम् ।
वाग् एव गीथा ।
उच् च गीथा चेति ।
स उद्गीथः ॥

eṣa u vā udgīthaḥ ।
prāṇo vā ut prāṇena hīdaṃ sarvam uttabdham ।
vāg eva gīthā ।
uc ca gīthā ceti ।
sa udgīthaḥ ॥

He (breath) is Udgîtha. Breath verily is Ut, for by breath this universe is upheld (uttabdha); and speech is Gîthâ, song. And because he is ut and gîthâ, therefore he (breath) is Udgîtha.

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 15 (1884)
