Bhuh,   Bhuvah,   and   Suvah  -  are  three   important   mystical   utterances.   A   fourth one   proclaimed   by   Mahacamasya, is the   Brahman;  of   which   all   gods   are   but   limbs.   Bhuh   stands   for   the   world,   fire,   Rks or   sacred   verses   and   the   vital   air   that   is inhaled.   Bhuvah   stands   for   the   space   between   heaven   and   the   earth,   the   chants
of   the   Sama   Veda,   and   the   air   that   is   exhaled.   Suvah   stands   for   heaven,   the prescriptions   of   the   Yajur   Veda  ,  and   the   breath   that   is   held.   Mahah   refers   to Brahman,   the   sun ,  moon  and   food,   which   respectively   sustain   the   Vedas,   the   world, all   light, and   all  animate  beings.   The   four   mystic   utterances   each   expand   fourfold,   and meditation   on   them   brings   knowledge   of   Brahman   and   the   homage   of   the   gods.
