Mandukya's exposition about Om and Shankaracharya's bhasyam for are given below <blockquote>ओमित्येतदक्षरमिदँसर्वं तस्योपव्याख्यानभूतं भवद् भविष्यदिति सर्वमोङ्कार एव। यच्चान्यत् त्रिकालातीतं तदप्योङ्कार एव ॥ १ ॥ (Mand.

All that is past, present, or future is verily OM. And whatever that is beyond the three time periods is also none other than Omkara. As the supreme Brahman is known through the relationship subsisting between name and object, it too is OM.<ref name=":3">Swami Gambhirananda (1937) ''Eight Upanishads, Volume 2 (Aitareya, Mundaka, Mandukya and Karika, and Prasna) With the Commentary of Sankaracarya.''
