55.17

ekākṣaraṃ paraṃ brahma prāṇāyāmāḥ paraṃ tapaḥ
sāvitryās tu paraṃ nānyan maunāt satyaṃ viśiṣyate //

The monosyllable (Om) is the highest Brahman, the stoppings of the breath are the best of austerities, but nothing is more exalted than the Gâyatrî; (declaring the) truth is better than silence.

Julius Jolly 1880, The Institutes of Vishnu
