VYĀHRITIS. Three mystical words said by Manu to have been milked from the Vedas by Prajāpati—the word *bhūr*, from the *Rig-veda*; the word *bhuvah*, from the *Yajur-veda*; and the word *swar*, from the *Sāma-veda* (*Manu*, ii. 76). The *Satapatha Brāhmana* defines them as “three luminous essences” which Prajāpati produced from the Vedas by heating them.
