From him the Ṛg, Sāma, Yajur, initiation, sacrifice, ritual, animals, all beings, inhalation and exhalation, rice and barley, austerity, truth, vow, regulation, Vedas, sacrifice —from him, from him.

An exhaustive list of everything that emerges from Brahman: the three Vedas (Ṛg, Sāma, Yajur), the rites (dīkṣā, yajña, kratu), living beings (paśavaḥ, sarvabhūtāni), vital functions (prāṇa, apāna), grains (vrīhi, yava), virtues (tapas, satya, vrata). Everything comes from Him (tasmāt), everything returns to Him. In our yoga practice, this is cosmic vision: nothing is separate, everything is manifestation of Unity. The repetition “from him, from him” is liturgical, like a mantra of origin.
