In Hinduism

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

艢补产诲补产谤补丑尘补苍 (啶多が啷嵿う啶啶班す啷嵿ぎ啶ㄠ) represents the 鈥渕ystic syllable Om鈥�, as explained in the 艢ivapur膩峁嘺 2.1.8:鈥斺€淸...] Vi峁ａ箛u 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. Vi峁ａ箛u realised that the sage himself was the great lord and the supreme Brahman embodied in the 艢abda Brahman. (i.e. the mystic syllable Om). 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 鈥極m鈥欌€�.

: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

1) 艢补产诲补产谤补丑尘补苍 (啶多が啷嵿う啶啶班す啷嵿ぎ啶ㄠ) refers to the 鈥淪ound Absolute鈥�, according to the Tantric texts such as the Kubjik膩mata-tantra, the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjik膩 cult.

2) 艢补产诲补产谤补丑尘补苍 (啶多が啷嵿う啶啶班す啷嵿ぎ啶ㄠ) or simply 艢abda refers to one of the two types of Brahman to be meditated upon, according to the Maitryupani峁d.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淰erily there are two Brahmans to be meditated upon: sound (艣补产诲补) and non-sound (a艣补产诲补). Now non-sound is revealed only by sound. Now, in this case the Sound-Brahman is O峁�. Ascending by it, one comes to an end in non-sound... This is immortality... As a spider mounting up by means of his thread (tantu) obtains free space, thus, assuredly, indeed, does that meditator, mounting up by means of O峁�, obtain independence (蝉惫腻迟补苍迟谤测补).... Passing beyond this variously characterized Sound-Brahman, men disappear into the supreme, the non-sound, the unmanifest Brahman鈥�.
