CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 6.5.2

आपः पीतास् त्रेधा विधीयन्ते ।
तासां यः स्थविष्ठो धातुस् तन् मूत्रं भवति ।
यो मध्यमस् तल् लोहितम् ।
यो ऽणिष्ठः स प्राणः ॥

āpaḥ pītās tredhā vidhīyante ।
tāsāṃ yaḥ sthaviṣṭho dhātus tan mūtraṃ bhavati ।
yo madhyamas tal lohitam ।
yo ’ṇiṣṭhaḥ sa prāṇaḥ ॥

'Water when drunk becomes threefold; its grossest portion becomes water, its middle portion blood, its subtilest portion breath.
