।।10.25।।महर्षियोंमें मैं भृगु हूँ? वाणीसम्बन्धी भेदोंमें -- पदात्मक वाक्योंमें एक अक्षर -- ओंकार हूँ? यज्ञोंमें जपयज्ञ हूँ और स्थावरोंमें अर्थात् अचल पदार्थोंमें हिमालय नामक पर्वत हूँ।
10.25 Among the great sages I am Bhrgu; 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.
