In plain words
as from a fire laid with damp fuel separate smokes go out, so from this great being has been breathed out the Ṛgveda, the Yajurveda, the Sāmaveda, the hymns of the Atharvans and Aṅgirases, story and ancient lore, the sciences, the Upaniṣads, the verses, the aphorisms, the explanations and the commentaries; what is sacrificed and offered, what is eaten and drunk, this world and the world beyond and all beings. All these are its breathings out.
