"Om Tat Sat": This has been declared to be the triple designation of Brahman. By that were created formerly, the Brahmanas, the Vedas and the sacrifices.

Om Tat Sat: this is remembered as the threefold designation of Brahman. By it, in the beginning, the brahmins, the Vedas and the sacrifices were ordained.

The chapter now turns to the sacred formula Om Tat Sat, described as the threefold designation of Brahman. By it, Krishna says, the brahmins, the Vedas and the sacrifices were established at the beginning. The three words are often understood as naming the supreme reality in different aspects. The verse prepares a remedy for the imperfections described earlier in the chapter: by linking actions to Brahman through these words, one dedicates them to the highest.
