Anuvaad
"(8.12 ke saath) — 'Om' is ek akshar brahm ka uchchaaran karte hue aur mera smaran karte hue jo sharir chhod kar jaata hai, woh param gati ko prapt hota hai."
Bhaavaarth
Shankaracharya. Om iti ekākṣaraṃ brahma brahmaṇaḥ abhidhāna-bhūtam oṃkāraṃ vyāharan uccārayan tad-artha-bhūtaṃ mām īśvaram anusmaran — Om (brahm ka naam) bolte hue, aur uske arth — mujh Ishwar — ka smaran karte hue. Mahatvapoorn: tyajan deham iti prayāṇa-viśeṣaṇārtham, deha-tyāgena prayāṇam ātmanaḥ na svarūpa-nāśena — "deh chhodte hue" — prayaan sharir chhodna hai, aatma ka naash nahin.
Aacharya Ramanuja (8.12–8.13 sanyukt). Om iti ekākṣaraṃ brahma mad-vācakaṃ vyāharan vācyaṃ mām anusmaran — Om — mera vaachak — bolte hue, vaachya (jiska woh naam hai) mujhe smaran karte hue; phal: yāti paramāṃ gatiṃ prakṛti-viyuktaṃ mat-samānākāram apunarāvṛttim ātmānaṃ prāpnoti — prakriti se mukt, mere samaan aakaar wali, na lautne wali aatma ko paata hai (kaivalya). Phir: atha jñānino bhagavad-upāsana-prakāraṃ — ab gyaani ki vidhi (8.14).
Antar: "Param gati" — Shankara: Ishwar-praapti/moksh; Ramanuja: kaivalyaarthi ke liye shuddh aatma-svaroop ki praapti.
