=======================================
1. OITORIYO-Upanishat ;
------------------------------
    Ambho  -  is 'SPACE' high above the sky ( ? hyper-space )
   Maarichi - The sky 
   Maaraa    --The middle region  i.e EARTH
   Apo --------The realm of water below and around.


From water the Divine drew forth 'Purusha'....a mouth opened...the  Heart gushed out from the 'HEART'....Mind   descended  &  from Cosmic MIND  came out the Moon.
 the Naval opened with downward force and 'Apana' gave rise to  downward path of 'digestion ( ?Metabolism) &;'Death'


 Human form was the final form or acceptable choice(?Evolutionary) - finally .
To be re-born after 'Death' is the 3rd Birth ( ? Re-incarnation/ Re-cycling )
And 'Prajna is  the Pure Consciousness.
