=====Detailed Explanation of Fifth Anuvaka =====
=====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" />
