(28) ప్రణవం హీశ్వరం విద్యాత్సర్వస్య హృది సంస్థితమ్। సర్వవ్యాపినమోంకారం మత్వా ధీరో న శోచతి॥ ౨౮॥ 28. Know Aum to be Īśvara, ever present in the mind of all; the man of discrimination realising Aum as all-pervading, does not grieve. Kārika 1.29 सुषुप्तस्थान: प्राज्ञो मकारस्तृतीया मात्रा मितेरपीतेर्वा मिनोति ह वा इदं सर्वमपीतिश्च भवति य एवं वेद॥ ११॥ suṣuptasthānaḥ prājño makārastṛtīyā mātrā miteḥ apītervā minoti ha vā idaṁ sarvamapītiśca bhavati ya evaṁ veda. (11) సుషుప్తస్థాన: ప్రాజ్ఞో మకారస్తృతీయా మాత్రా మితేరపీతేర్వా మినోతి హ వా ఇదం సర్వమపీతిశ్చ భవతి య ఏవం వేద॥ ౧౧॥ 11. Prājña whose sphere is deep sleep is M (म) the third part (letter) of Aum, because it is both the measure and that wherein all become one. One who knows this (identity of Prājña and M) is able to measure all (realise the real nature of the world) and also comprehends all within himself.
