TRANSLATION Of the great
sages I am Bhrgu; of vibrations I am the transcendental om. Of sacrifices
I am the chanting of the holy names [japa], and of immovable things I am
the Himalayas.
PURPORT Brahma, the
first living creature within the universe, created several sons for the
propagation of various kinds of species. The most powerful of his sons
is Bhrgu, who is also the greatest sage. Of all the transcendental vibrations,
the "om" (omkara) represents the Supreme. Of all sacrifices,
the chanting of Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama,
Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is the purest representation of Krsna.
Sometimes animal sacrifices are recommended, but in the sacrifice of Hare
Krsna, Hare Krsna, there is no question of violence. It is the simplest
and the purest. Whatever is sublime in the worlds is a representation of
Krsna. Therefore the Himalayas, the greatest mountains in the world, also
represent Him. The mountain named Meru was mentioned in a previous verse,
but Meru is sometimes movable, whereas the Himalayas are never movable.
Thus the Himalayas are greater than Meru.
