अर्थMeaning
When it is said, that 'he made three for himself,' that means that he made mind, speech, and breath for himself. As people say, 'My mind was elsewhere, I did not see; my mind was elsewhere, I did not hear,' it is clear that a man sees with his mind and hears with his mind . Desire, representation, doubt, faith, want of faith, memory , forgetfulness, shame, reflexion, fear, all this is mind. Therefore even if a man is touched on the back, he knows it through the mind. Whatever sound there is, that is speech. Speech indeed is intended for an end or object, it is nothing by itself. The up-breathing, the down-breathing, the back-breathing, the out-breathing, the on-breathing, all that is breathing is breath (prâna) only. Verily that Self consists of it; that Self consists of speech, mind, and breath.

व्याख्याVyakhya
'तीन उसने अपने लिए बनाए', वे हैं मन, वाणी और प्राण। लोग कहते हैं, 'मेरा मन कहीं और था, इसलिए मैंने नहीं देखा; मेरा मन कहीं और था, इसलिए मैंने नहीं सुना'; क्योंकि मनुष्य मन से ही देखता है और मन से ही सुनता है। काम, संकल्प, संशय, श्रद्धा, अश्रद्धा, धैर्य, अधैर्य, लज्जा, बुद्धि और भय, यह सब मन ही है। इसीलिए पीठ पर छुए जाने पर भी मनुष्य मन से उसे जान लेता है। जो कोई भी शब्द है, वह वाणी ही है; यह (किसी अर्थ के) अन्त तक पहुँचती है, स्वयं (प्रकाश्य) नहीं है। प्राण, अपान, व्यान, उदान, समान और अन, यह सब प्राण ही है। यह आत्मा (शरीर) इन्हीं से बना है: वाणीमय, मनोमय और प्राणमय।
