CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 6.7.6

एवं सोम्य ते षोडशानां कलानाम् एका कलातिशिष्टाभूत् ।
सान्नेनोपसमाहिता प्राज्वाली ।
तयैतर्हि वेदान् अनुभवसि ।
अन्नमयं हि सोम्य मनः ।
आपोमयः प्राणः ।
तेजोमयी वाग् इति ।
तद् धास्य विजज्ञाव् इति विजज्ञाव् इति ॥

evaṃ somya te ṣoḍaśānāṃ kalānām ekā kalātiśiṣṭābhūt ।
sānnenopasamāhitā prājvālī ।
tayaitarhi vedān anubhavasi ।
annamayaṃ hi somya manaḥ ।
āpomayaḥ prāṇaḥ ।
tejomayī vāg iti ।
tad dhāsya vijajñāv iti vijajñāv iti ॥

'Thus, my dear son, there was one part of the sixteen parts left to you, and that, lighted up with food, burnt up, and by it you remember now the Vedas.' After that, he understood what his father meant when he said: 'Mind, my son, comes from food, breath from water, speech from fire.' He understood what he said, yea, he understood it.
