Adhyaya 42 — Dattatreya on the Yogic Import of Oṃ (Praṇava): Matras, Worlds, and Liberation
सव्यञ्जनो मकारश्च स्वर्लोकः परिकल्प्यते ।
व्यक्ता तु प्रथमा मात्रा द्वितीयाव्यक्तसंज्ञिता ॥
savyañjano makāraśca svarlokaḥ parikalpyate /
vyaktā tu prathamā mātrā dvitīyāvyaktasaṃjñitā
‘ம’காரம் அதன் மெய்யெழுத்துத் தத்துவத்துடன் சேர்ந்து ஸ்வர்கலோகமாகக் கருதப்படுகிறது. முதல் மாத்ரை ‘வ்யக்த’; இரண்டாம் மாத்ரை ‘அவ்யக்த’ எனச் சொல்லப்படுகிறது.
