This Anuvaka explains three famous utterances: भू:, भुव:, सुव:
भूर्भुवः सुवरिति वा एतास्तिस्रो व्याहृतयः । तासामुह स्मैतां चतुर्थीं माहाचमस्यः प्रवेदयते । मह इति ।
भूर्भुवः सुवरिति वा एतास्तिस्रो व्याहृतयः । तासामुह स्मैतां चतुर्थीं माहाचमस्यः प्रवेदयते । मह इति ।
तत् ब्रह्म । स आत्मा । अङ्गान्यन्या देवताः । भूरिति वा अयं लोकः । भुव इत्यन्तरिक्षम् । सुवरित्यसौ लोकः ॥ १ ॥
तत् ब्रह्म । स आत्मा । अङ्गान्यन्या देवताः । भूरिति वा अयं लोकः । भुव इत्यन्तरिक्षम् । सुवरित्यसौ लोकः ॥ १ ॥
मह इत्यादित्यः । आदित्येन वाव सर्वे लोका महीयन्ते
=====Literal Translation of first verse=====
भू: earth, भुव sky, सुव: heaven, इति thus, एता: these, तिस्रो the three, व्याहृतयः sacred utterances or short mantra, तासाम besides, माहाचमस्यः the son of Mahachamas, मह Maha, चतुर्थीं the fourth, प्रवेदयते taught, तत्, अंगानी the limbs, लोकः world, अन्तरिक्षम the interspace, असौ that, आदित्य: sun, आदित्येन by the sun,
वाव behold, महीयन्ते are fostered.
Bhu, Bhuvah and Suvah are the three sacred utterances. Besides these the fourth, Maha, has been taught by the son of Mahachamas. That is Brahman (ब्रह्म), that is Atman, all other gods are other limbs.
Or Bhu is the world, Bhuva is the sky, Suva is the other world, Maha is the sun, it is because of sun that all the worlds are nourished.
=====Literal Translation of second verse=====
मह इत्यादित्यः । आदित्येन वाव सर्वे लोका महीयन्ते । भूरिति वा अग्निः । भुव इति वायुः । सुवरित्यादित्यः ।
मह इत्यादित्यः । आदित्येन वाव सर्वे लोका महीयन्ते । भूरिति वा अग्निः । भुव इति वायुः । सुवरित्यादित्यः ।

=====Detailed Explanation of Fifth Anuvaka =====
This Anuvaka explains three famous utterances: भू:, भुव:, सुव: and also explains a fourth one called मह:. These utterances are symbolic ways to grasp areas or levels of consciousness, when a Vedic student pursues the Yogic paths. भू: (Bhuh) refers to the earthly plane. भुव: (Bhuvah) refers to a higher plane - that of skies or space. सुव: (Suvah) refers to a further higher world of light, symbolised by sun (savita). Now beyond these three there is मह: (maha), which denotes God - The Greatest or Biggest - it is nothing but the Brahman.<ref name=":0" />

The fifth anuvaka declares that "Bhūr! Bhuvaḥ! Svar!" are three holy exclamations, then adds that ''Bhur'' is the breathing out, ''Bhuvah'' is the breathing in, while ''Svar'' is the intermediate step between those two. It also states that "Brahman is [[Ātman (Hinduism)|Atman (Self)]], and all deities and divinities are its limbs", that "Self-knowledge is the Eternal Principle", and the human beings who have this Oneness and Self-knowledge are served by the gods.<ref>Paul Deussen, Sixty Upanishads of the Veda, Volume 1, Motilal Banarsidass, ISBN 978-8120814684, page 225</ref>
