सञ्ज्ञकमेव, उभयत्रापि उदकनामसु-अन्तरिक्षनामसु च अपशब्दस्य पाठात् , तदेतदेव उपनिषत्सु तेजोऽबन्नशब्दैरुपदिष्टमनुश्रूयते, इति विशेषः॥
COMMENTARY-SUMMARY TRANSLATION Brahmanaspati, through the power of light manifested himself and became Adhibhūta (material form ). Light, water and earth are the three elements in which he placed his three steps. He is Purusha with three steps. These steps are in the form of three basic elements.
The container and the contained are the same. The three worlds, earth, mid-air and sky, are made of earth, water (fluids ) and light respectively and they are identical with each other in name and form also. Dyau is the abode of light, Pșthvi that of earth and Antariksha that of water and is known as Ap. The word Ap is included in both the lists, in the Vedic Dictionary, 'Nighantu', meaning water and mid-air (Jala and Antariksha respectively). This (Trivstkaraṇa ) is referred to in the Upanishads by the words Tejas, Ap and Anna. This is the speciality here.
