The twentieth mantra names the seven mahāvyāhṛtis — “great utterances”.
These are the names of the seven worlds, spoken in the rite: bhūḥ, bhuvaḥ, svaḥ, mahaḥ, janaḥ, tapaḥ, satyam — earth, the middle region, heaven and the four above.
The first three of them stand as the refrain in every mantra of this chapter: bhūr bhuvaḥ suvaḥ.
Here, then, the doxology names as its subject what it itself pronounces in every line.
The ladder of the seven worlds we saw in the tenth khaṇḍa of the Subāla, and there it was charted in detail, with the inhabitants of each.
Note that these utterances are not held mere labels. They are spoken at the libation, and the speaking is thought an act: name a world — and it is present.
The same power the book ascribes to the mantra: the third verse of the fourth Upaniṣad of the pūrva said that the one called by name turns round.
Seven words, then, hold seven worlds, and all of them are He.
