1.3.23

eṣa u vā udgīthaḥ prāṇo vā utprāṇena hīdam̐ sarvasuttabdhaṃ vāgeva gīthocca gīthā ceti sa udgīthaḥ

He (breath) is Udgîtha. Breath verily is Ut, for by breath this universe is upheld (uttabdha); and speech is Gîthâ, song. And because he is ut and gîthâ, therefore he (breath) is Udgîtha.

Friedrich Max Müller 1884, The Upanishads, Part II (SBE 15)
