Verse 4.58.11

उच्चारयन्नोङ्कारं च घण्टास्वनमिव क्रमात् ।
ओंकारस्य कलामात्रं पाश्चात्यं वालकोमलम् ।
नान्तरस्थो न बाह्यस्थो भावयन्परमे हृदि ॥ ११ ॥

uccārayannoṅkāraṃ ca ghaṇṭāsvanamiva kramāt |
oṃkārasya kalāmātraṃ pāścātyaṃ vālakomalam |
nāntarastho na bāhyastho bhāvayanparame hṛdi || 11 ||

He uttered the sound Om (on or amen), and it rang on all sides as the ringing of a bell; he first uttered a part of it the vocal part—o, and then the nasal—n, which tops it as a tuft of hair. He remained meditating on the spirit in his mind, not as situated in or without it.
