अर्थMeaning
Of the person in the right eye Bhûh is the head, for the head is one, and that syllable is one; Bhuvah the two arms, for the arms are two, and these syllables are two; Svar the foot, for the feet are two, and these syllables are two. Its secret name is Aham (ego), and he who knows this, destroys (hanti) evil and leaves (gahâti) it.

व्याख्याVyakhya
जो यह पुरुष दाहिनी आँख में है, उसका सिर भूः है — सिर एक है, यह अक्षर एक है। भुवः दोनों बाहु हैं — बाहु दो हैं, ये अक्षर दो हैं। स्वः प्रतिष्ठा है — प्रतिष्ठाएँ दो हैं, ये अक्षर दो हैं। इसकी उपनिषद् अहम् है। जो ऐसा जानता है, वह पाप को मारता है और छोड़ता है।
