Taittiriya Upanishad

1.3.4

What follows is concerning the individual or the body. The lower jaw is the prior form, the upper jaw the posterior form, speech is the conjunction, the tongue the means of union – thus one should meditate upon oneself.

These are called ‘the great conjunctions’ and he who understands them as expounded here, becomes united with progeny, cattle, food and the like, and with the glory of the holy lustre wealth and heavenly joys.
