TAITTIRĪYA UPANISHAD · 1.7

पृथिव्यन्तरिक्षं द्यौर्दिशोऽवान्तरदिशाः ।
अग्निर्वायुरादित्यश्चन्द्रमा नक्षत्राणि ।
आप ओषधयो वनस्पतय आकाश आत्मा । इत्यधिभूतम् ।
अथाध्यात्मम् । प्राणो व्यानोऽपान उदानः समानः ।
चक्षुः श्रोत्रं मनो वाक् त्वक् ।
चर्म मांसं स्नावास्थि मज्जा ।
एतदधिविधाय ऋषिरवोचत् ।
पाङ्क्तं वा इदंसर्वम् ।
पाङ्क्तेनैव पाङ्क्तं स्पृणोतीति ।

pṛthivyantarikṣaṃ dyaurdiśo’vāntaradiśāḥ ।
agnirvāyurādityaścandramā nakṣatrāṇi ।
āpa oṣadhayo vanaspataya ākāśa ātmā । ityadhibhūtam ।
athādhyātmam । prāṇo vyāno’pāna udānaḥ samānaḥ ।
cakṣuḥ śrotraṃ mano vāk tvak ।
carma māṃsaṃ snāvāsthi majjā ।
etadadhividhāya ṛṣiravocat ।
pāṅktaṃ vā idaṃsarvam ।
pāṅktenaiva pāṅktaṃ spṛṇotīti ।

Earth, sky, heaven, the quarters and the lesser quarters; Fire, Air, Sun, Moon and the Constellations; Waters, herbs of healing, trees of the forest, ether and the Self in all; these three concerning this outer creation. Then concerning the Self. The main breath, the middle breath, the nether breath, the upper breath and the breath pervasor; eye, ear, mind, speech and the skin; hide, flesh, muscle, bone and marrow. Thus the Rishi divided them and said, “In sets of five is this universe; five and five with five and five He relateth.”
