Translation

Therefore, transcendentalists undertaking performances of sacrifice, charity and penance in accordance with scriptural regulations begin always with oṁ, to attain the Supreme.

Transcendentalister, der udfører offerhandlinger og askese og yder i velgørenhed i overensstemmelse med de skriftlige regler, indleder derfor altid deres aktiviteter med “oṁ” for at nå den Højeste.
