CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 1.3.6

अथ खलूद्गीथाक्षराण्य् उपासीत उद्-गी-थ इति ।
प्राण एवोत् ।
प्राणेन ह्य् उत्तिष्ठति ।
वग् गीः ।
वाचो ह गिर इत्य् आचक्षते ।
अन्नं थम् ।
अन्ने हीदं सर्वं स्थितम् ॥

atha khalūdgīthākṣarāṇy upāsīta ud-gī-tha iti ।
prāṇa evot ।
prāṇena hy uttiṣṭhati ।
vag gīḥ ।
vāco ha gira ity ācakṣate ।
annaṃ tham ।
anne hīdaṃ sarvaṃ sthitam ॥

Let a man meditate on the syllables of the udgîtha, i. e. of the word udgîtha. Ut is breath (prâna), for by means of breath a man rises (uttishthati). Gî is speech, for speeches are called girah. Tha is food, for by means of food all subsists (sthita).
