Chapter 10
maharsinam bhrguraham giramasmyekamaksaram
yajfianam japayajno'smi sthavaranatir himalayah
Among the great seers I am Bhrgu, of speech I am the monosyllablic 'OM'; of sacrifice (yajna), I am the Japa yajna, the constant repetition of the Lord's name; and of the immovable, the Himalaya. 25
Comment:-
Maharsinam bhrguraham:- Among the great seers, Bhrgu is a great devotee, possessing wisdom and glory. It was he who by testing the trinity, proved Lord Visnu superior to Brahma and Mahesa. Lord Visnu holds the mark of his foot on His chest. So, the Lord's glories, are revealed through him.
Giramasmyekamaksaram:- First the monosyllable Gen', was revealed. Then 'Gayatri (a Vedic metre), was revealed from Om; then the Vedas were revealed from Gayatrl; and other scriptures and Puranas etc., are based on the Vedas. So the Lord has declared Om', His divine glory. The Lord has also declared it in 7/8 "I ant the sacred syllable 'Om', in all the Vedas" and in 8/13 "He who leaves the body and departs, reciting me one-syllabled 'Om', and dwelling on Me in My absolute aspect, attains the "supreme state," and also in 17/24 "Acts of sacrifice, gift and penance, as enjoined by scriptures, are always undertaken, with the utterance of 'Om by followers of the Vedas."
Yajnanam japayajno'smi:- In other sacrifices, certain rules and ordinances, are to be observed and in performing mese any error may be committed, which may result, in harm. But, in the constant repetition of the Lord's name, there is no question of any harm and it can be performed at anytime without any hard and fast rules. The Hindus, Muslims, Buddhas and the Joins etc., all believe, that it is a very good means, to attain salvation. So the Lord has named it, as His divine glory.
