"Discernment extends the sacrifice, and extends works as well; discernment all the gods worship as the eldest Brahman. He who knows discernment as Brahman and does not swerve from it, leaving sins in the body, attains all desires." He is the embodied self of the former. But within this [self] made of discernment is another self, consisting of bliss: by that the former is filled. He too has the form of a man: after the man-shape of the one, man-shaped is the other. The pleasing is his head, joy his right side, gladness his left side, bliss his trunk, Brahman his lower part, the support. Of that there is also a verse.

A hymn to discernment — and the last inner layer. vijñānaṁ yajñaṁ tanute — "discernment extends the sacrifice": every rite and every deed is led by intelligence: without discrimination a sacrifice is mere motion, and work mere fuss; vijñānaṁ devāḥ sarve brahma jyeṣṭham upāsate — "all the gods worship discernment as the eldest Brahman": the very powers of the world bow before a clear intelligence.
And yet within it is the ānandamaya, the self of bliss: deeper than thought in man lies joy. The order of the sheaths is a discovery that has not aged in three thousand years: deeper than the body is life, deeper than life mind, deeper than mind discernment, deeper than discernment bliss: at his very core man is made not of thought but of joy; thought is only its steward.
The anatomy of the blissful self is a ladder of joy itself: priyam — the pleasing (the joy of seeing the dear one) — the head; moda — joy (of possessing) — the right side; pramoda — exultation (of the fullness of enjoyment) — the left; ānanda — bliss as such — the trunk; and the support is brahma puccham pratiṣṭhā — "Brahman is the base": beneath the deepest human joy is Brahman Himself: all our joy stands upon Him as a wave upon the ocean. It remains to ask about the base itself — and the vallī does so at once.
