कुत एवात्र संभूतः परीक्षावोऽग्निसंभवम् ।। अधोगमिष्याम्यनलस्तंभस्यानुपमस्य च ।। ११ ।।

From where indeed has this arisen? I shall examine whether it is born of fire. I will go downward to explore this matchless pillar of flame.

वेदशब्दोभयावेशं विश्वात्मानं व्यचिंतयत् ।। तदाऽभवदृषिस्तत्र ऋषेस्सारतमं स्मृतम् ।।१२।।

Viṣṇu thus meditated on the universal soul enveloped by the two Vedic sounds and wished to examine the source whence the Fire-column arose and to go deep down the unequalled fiery column. Then there came a sage who told him the essence of the truth.

Viṣṇu realised that the sage himself was the great lord and the supreme Brahman embodied in the Śabda Brahman. (i.e. the mystic syllable Om).

चिंतया रहितो रुद्रो वाचो यन्मनसा सह ।। अप्राप्य तन्निवर्तंते वाच्यस्त्वेकाक्षरेण सः ।।१४।।

The Brahman is Rudra free from worries. The words and the mind are incapable of comprehending it; without reaching it they return. It can be expressed by the single-syllabled mantra “Om”.
