The thirteen / Chāndogya Upanishad / Adhyāya 1 · Khaṇḍa 1

CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 1.1.5

वाग् एवर्क् ।
प्राणः साम ।
ओम् इत्य् एतद् अक्षरम् उद्गीथः ।
तद् वा एतन् मिथुनं यद् वाक् च प्राणश् चर्क् च साम च ॥

vāg evark ।
prāṇaḥ sāma ।
om ity etad akṣaram udgīthaḥ ।
tad vā etan mithunaṃ yad vāk ca prāṇaś cark ca sāma ca ॥

The Rik indeed is speech, Sâman is breath, the udgîtha is the syllable Om. Now speech and breath, or Rik and Sâman, form one couple.
