S3Br. ChUp. &c

om at the beginning of their vidyā ṣaḍakṣarī or mystical formulary in six syllables [viz. om maṇi padme hūṃ] ; according to T. om may be used in the following senses: praṇave , ārambhe , svīkāre , anumatau , apā*kṛtau , asvīkāre , maṅgale , śubhe , jñeye , brahmaṇi ; with preceding a or ā , the o of om does not form vṛddhi (au) , but guṇa (o) Pa1n2. 6-1 , 95.)
