शिवो वा प्रणवो ह्येष प्रणवो वा शिवः स्मृतः ॥ वाच्यवाचकयोर्भेदो नात्यंतं विद्यते यतः ॥ ७॥

sanskrit

Since there is not much difference between the sense and the sound Om, this is explained thus. Śiva is Praṇava or Praṇava is Śiva.

english translation

zivo vA praNavo hyeSa praNavo vA zivaH smRtaH ॥ vAcyavAcakayorbhedo nAtyaMtaM vidyate yataH ॥ 7॥
