ओंकारस्त्वं वषट्कारः सर्वारंभप्रवर्तकः । यज्ञोसि यज्ञकर्मासि यज्ञानां च प्रवर्तकः
oṃkārastvaṃ vaṣaṭkāraḥ sarvāraṃbhapravartakaḥ | yajñosi yajñakarmāsi yajñānāṃ ca pravartakaḥ
Tu és a sílaba Oṃ; tu és a exclamação Vaṣaṭ; tu pões em movimento todo empreendimento. Tu és o próprio sacrifício, tu és o ato sacrificial, e tu és quem impele todos os sacrifícios.
Brahmā
Tirtha: Kedāra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Rudra/Śiva
Scene: A symbolic tableau: Śiva as the luminous Praṇava (Oṃ) hovering above a Vedic altar; the vaṣaṭ flame rises; ritual implements orbit like cosmic elements, showing Śiva as sacrifice and sacrificer.
Ritual power and mantra efficacy ultimately rest in the Divine; worship is complete when the inner Lord is recognized as the sacrifice itself.
No site is directly named; the Kedārakhaṇḍa context links Śiva worship with sacred geography, but this verse is about yajña-metaphysics.
Vedic ritual elements—Oṃkāra and the Vaṣaṭ-call—are referenced as integral to yajña.
