अनुवाद
Threefold is all this: name, form, work. Of names, speech is their uktha [hymn], for from it all names arise; it is their sāman, for it is equal to all names; it is their Brahman, for it bears all names.

The closing brāhmaṇa of the first adhyāya reduces the world to three dimensions: nāma, rūpa, karma — name, form, work. Everything that is, is as named, as seen and as acting; three coordinates outside which nothing manifest occurs. And for each dimension its source-hymn is named (uktha — "that from which they arise"), its equality-chant (sāman — "that to which it is equal") and its bearing foundation (brahman — "that which bears").
For names this is speech: all names arise from it, are equal to it and are borne by it. We stand at the final summing-up of the book of beginnings: the world of names is wholly the child and the burden of the word. He who wants pure names purifies his speech; he who carries the holy name carries that which itself carries all names.
