catvāri vāk parimitā padāni tāni vidurbrāhmaṇā ye manīṣiṇaḥ | ghuhā trīṇi nihitā neṅghayanti turīyaṃ vāco manuṣyā vadanti

Speech hath been measured out in four divisions, the Brahmans who have understanding know them. Three kept in close concealment cause no motion; of speech, men speak only the fourth division.
