Therefore, with the syllable 'Om' first pronounced, the acts of sacrifice, giving, and austerity, the acts that have the form of sacrifice and the rest and are enjoined by the rule and prompted by scripture, are always set going by those whose practice is to utter Brahman.

Therefore the acts of sacrifice, giving, and austerity, told by the rule, told by the rule of the Veda, of those who utter Brahman, of those who utter the Veda, of the men of the three classes, having first pronounced 'Om', go forward ever, at all times. And the Vedas are begun by pronouncing 'Om'. Thus the connection of the word 'Om' with the Vedas and with the Vedic acts of sacrifice and the rest is described. By the holding of the Veda joined with the word 'Om', and by the doing of acts of sacrifice and the rest joined with it, the connection of the word 'Om' with the men of the three classes indicated by the word 'brahmin' is described too. Now the manner of their connection with the word 'tat' is told.
