CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 6.5.1

अन्नम् अशितं त्रेधा विधीयते ।
तस्य यः स्थविष्ठो धातुस् तत् पुरीषं भवति ।
यो मध्यमस् तन् मांसम् ।
यो ऽणिष्ठस् तन् मनः ॥

annam aśitaṃ tredhā vidhīyate ।
tasya yaḥ sthaviṣṭho dhātus tat purīṣaṃ bhavati ।
yo madhyamas tan māṃsam ।
yo ’ṇiṣṭhas tan manaḥ ॥

'The earth (food) when eaten becomes threefold; its grossest portion becomes feces, its middle portion flesh, its subtilest portion mind.

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 1 (1879)
