Uttering the one-syllabled Om the Brahman and remembering Me, he who departs, leaving the body, attains to the Supreme Goal.

uttering Om, the single syllable that is Brahman, and remembering me, whoever departs leaving the body goes to the highest goal.

While leaving the body in this way, the yogi utters Om, the single syllable that is Brahman, and remembers Krishna. Whoever departs thus reaches the highest goal. Om is regarded as the sound-form of the ultimate reality, gathering all speech and all the Vedas into one syllable. The verse joins the impersonal and the personal: the syllable that stands for Brahman is uttered together with the remembrance of Krishna. Traditions draw different conclusions from this joining, but all honour the verse.
