1.3.6

atha khalūdgīthākṣarāṇy upāsīta ud_ gī tha iti \
prāṇa evot \
prāṇena hy uttiṣṭhati \
vag gīḥ \
vāco ha gira ity ācakṣate \
annaṃ tham \
anne hīdaṃ sarvaṃ sthitam \\103.6\

6. But one should also reverence the syllables of the Udgītha—ud, gī, tha. ud is breath, for through breath one arises (ut-tiṣṭhati); gī is speech, for people designate speeches as words (giras); tha is food, for upon food this whole world is established (sthita).
