ॐ तत्सदिति निर्देशो ब्रह्मणस्त्रिविधः स्मृतः । ब्राह्मणास्तेन वेदाश्च यज्ञाश्च विहिताः पुरा ॥ २३ ॥
oṁ tat sad iti nirdeśho brahmaṇas tri-vidhaḥ smṛitaḥ brāhmaṇās tena vedāśh cha yajñāśh cha vihitāḥ purā
Translation
"Om Tat Sat" is declared to be the threefold name of Brahman. By it, in the beginning, the Brahmins, the Vedas and sacrifices were ordained.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
"ॐ तत् सत्", ये तीन प्रकार के ब्रह्म के नाम कहे गए हैं। उसी से सृष्टि के आरंभ में ब्राह्मण, वेद और यज्ञ रचे गए।
Commentary
The chapter ends by showing how any act can be raised towards the divine: by dedicating it with the three sacred words Om, Tat and Sat. Together they are a name of Brahman, the Absolute. The phrase "Om Tat Sat" is still said at the close of rituals and appears in the colophon at the end of every Gita chapter.
