2.2.4.p1

iti dvitīyādhyāye dvitīyaṃ brāhmaṇam

These two (ears) are Gotama and Bharadwâja: this one is Gotama, and this one Bharadwâja. These two (eyes) are Vishwâmitra and Jamadagni: this one is Vishwâmitra, and this one Jamadagni. These two (nostrils) are Vasishtha and Kashyapa: this one is Vasishtha, and this one Kashyapa. The tongue is Atri, for through the tongue food is eaten. ‘Atri’ is but this name ‘Atti.’ He who knows it as such becomes the eater of all, and everything becomes his food.

Swami Madhavananda 1934, The Bṛhadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad, with the Commentary of Śaṅkarācārya
