The syllable OM is the root from which the Vedas have originated. He has no fear about next life in all the three worlds, who has uttered for him the syllables 'OM, Namas, Svaha, Svadha, and Vashat, and who has according to his means, celebrated sacrifices and other rites. The Vedas and sages crowned with ascetic success, and the foremost of Rishis declare thus.
