Description
The Sanskrit name for the syllable is , from a root nu "to shout, sound", verbal pra-nu- being attested as "to make a humming or droning sound" in the Brahmanas, and taking the specific meaning of "to utter the syllable om" in the Ch�ogya Upanishad and the Shrauta Sutras. More rarely used terms are akṣara (lit. symbol, character) or ek�#7779;ara (lit. one symbol, character), and in later times omk� becomes prevalent.
The Bhagvad Gi:t�17.23) has:
om tatsatiti nirdesho brahmanstrividhah samratah
"OM, tat and sat has been declared as the triple appellation of Brahman, who is Truth, Consciousness and Bliss."
In the following s�it emphasizes, "The repetition of Om should be made with an understanding of its meaning".
