    Meaning

    Om is Brahman. Om is all this. Om — this syllable is (a token of) assent; for when they are bidden 'recite (ashravaya),' they recite. With Om they sing the Samans; with 'Om shom' they recite the Shastras; with Om the adhvaryu utters the response; with Om (the priest) sanctions the agnihotra; with Om the brahmana, about to recite, says 'may I attain Brahman' — and he does attain Brahman.
