10.5.1.5
sā vā eṣā vāktredhāvihitā ṛco yajūṃṣi sāmāni maṇḍalamevarco'rciḥ sāmāni puruṣo yajūṃṣyathaitadamṛtaṃ yadetadarcirdīpyata idaṃ tatpuṣkaraparṇaṃ tadyatpuṣkaraparṇamupadhāyāgniṃ cinotyetasminnevaitadamṛta ṛṅmayaṃ yajurmayaṃ sāmamayamātmānaṃ saṃskurute so'mṛto bhavati
This speech, indeed, is threefold--the Rik-verses, the Yagus-formulas, and the Sâman-tunes the Rik-verses are the orb, the Sâman-tunes the light, and the Yagus-formulas the man (in the sun); and that immortal element, the shining light, is this lotus-leaf: thus, when he builds up the Fire-altar after laying down the lotus-leaf, it is on that immortal element that he builds for himself a body consisting of the Rik, the Yagus, and the Sâman; and he becomes immortal.
