BU 5.5.3

य एष एतस्मिन् मण्डले पुरुषस् तस्य भूर् इति शिरः । एकं शिर एकम् एतद् अक्षरम् । भुव इति बाहू । द्वौ बाहू द्वे एते अक्षरे । स्वर् इति प्रतिष्ठा । द्वे प्रतिष्ठे द्वे एते अक्षरे । तस्योपनिषद् अहर् इति । हन्ति पाप्मानं जहाति च य एवं वेद

ya eṣa etasmin maṇḍale puruṣas tasya bhūr iti śiraḥ | ekaṃ śira ekam etad akṣaram | bhuva iti bāhū | dvau bāhū dve ete akṣare | svar iti pratiṣṭhā | dve pratiṣṭhe dve ete akṣare | tasyopaniṣad ahar iti | hanti pāpmānaṃ jahāti ca ya evaṃ veda

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Now of the person in that (solar) orb BhM is the head, for the head is one, and that syllable is one; Bhuva/fc the two arms, for the arms are two, and these syllables are two; Svar the foot, for the feet are two, and these syllables are two. Its secret name is Ahar (day), and he who knows this, destroys (hanti) evil and leaves (^ahati) it.
