The first foot of the Ātman: waking.
The seven limbs are the parts of the cosmic body from the Chāndogya: heaven the head, sun and moon the eyes, the quarters the ears. The waking man is described at the scale of the universe.
The nineteen gates are the five senses of perception, the five of action, the five breaths and the four inner instruments: mind, reason, selfhood and memory.
The name Vaiśvānara means “the man of all men”.
Note the word pāda — “foot, quarter”. It links this chart with what was said in the first Upaniṣad about the four quarters of the chant: there a world, a Veda and a fire were laid on a quarter of the verse; here a state of consciousness is laid on it.
One and the same four runs through the whole book. That is its way of proving.
