Of the great seers (maharṣīṇām) I am Bhrigu; of words I am the single syllable (Om). Of sacrifices (yajñānām) I am the sacrifice of muttered prayer (japayajña); of immovable things, the Himalaya.
I am Bhrigu, priest of the great seers; of words, I am the eternal syllable OM, the prayer of sacrifices; I am Himalaya, the measure of what endures.
(25) Among the great seers I am Bhṛgu, among utterances the single syllable [Om]; among sacrifices I am the sacrifice of muttered prayer, among things immovable the Himalayas;
10.25 Among the great sages I am Bhṛgu; of words I am the single syllable (Om) [Om is the best because it is the name as well as the symbol of Brahman.]. Among rituals I am the ritual of Japa [Japa, muttering prayers-repeating passages from the Vedas, silently repeating names of deities, etc. Rituals often involve killing of animals. But Japa is free from such injury, and hence the best.] of the immovables, the Himalaya.
10.25 Of the great seers, I am Bhṛgu. Of words, I am the single-lettered word Om. Of sacrifices, I am the sacrifice of Japa. Of immovable things I am the Himalayas.
10.25 Among the great sages I am Bhṛgu; among words I am the one syllable (Om); among sacrifices I am the sacrifice of silent repetition; among the immovable things I am the Himalayas.
