In plain words

Oṃ. The five mahābhūtas, the great elements, after quintuplication, together with everything they produce, form what is called Virāṭ. This is Ātma’s sthūla śarīra, its gross body. Grasping objects through the senses is jāgarita, the waking state. The Ātma that takes both the gross body and waking to be itself is Viśva. These three make up A-kāra, the sound A.
