That which is udgītha is also praṇava (Om). So also, that which is praṇava is udgītha. That sun is udgītha, and it is also praṇava, because it seems to say Om (or, has the word Om in its mind) when it appears.
The sage Kauṣītaki said to his son: ‘I worshipped the sun and its rays as one. That is why I had only one son, which is you. If you worship the sun and its rays separately, you will then have many children.’ This is the worship of the forces of nature.
Next, this is how worship concerning the physical body is performed: one should worship the chief prāṇa as udgītha, for it seems to say Om as it makes the organs (of perception and action) function.
The sage Kauṣītaki said to his son: ‘I worshipped prāṇa as just one entity, and therefore I had only one son. I suggest that you worship prāṇa as one with manifold qualities and with many forms while thinking, “May my children be many”’.
For certain, that which is udgītha is praṇava, and that which is praṇava is also udgītha. Should the person performing a sacrifice make mistakes in pronunciation, that can be rectified (when he has the knowledge that udgītha and praṇava are the same).
