The transition to the lesson on the "threefold threefold": each of the three elements — heat, waters, food — is woven into the other two, and nothing in the world consists of a single thread. The father calls: tat me vijānīhi — "learn this from me": after the general law will come the analysis of examples, from fire to lightning.
This tripling is the ancient root of the thought of the three guṇas: the world as a fabric of three principles, distinguishable by knowledge but inseparable in things. And as the Gītā teaches us to see behind the guṇas their Lord (BG 7.13: "deluded by the three states, the world does not know Me, higher than they"), so here the threefoldness is not the final truth but a pattern upon Being: make out the threads — and ask about the Weaver.
