The litany begins — a series of invocations with obeisances, with which the book closes. Each has the same structure: a name, "oṁ tat sat", the three worlds, and a double obeisance.
The first invocation is addressed to "the soul of prāṇa" — to Him who is breath itself. Next will come apāna, samāna, udāna and vyāna: the five breaths spoken of in mantra 16 of the first part, where the one Kṛṣṇa was compared to the wind that became fivefold in the body.
The alternation is remarkable: each breath is followed by an invocation to Kṛṣṇa under one of His names. That is, the litany names in turn the machinery of life and Him who is within it.
The formula oṁ tat sat has already stood at the close of the Pūrva-tāpanī; it seals what has been said. And "bhūḥ bhuvaḥ svaḥ" are the three vyāhṛtis, the three worlds, uttered with the gāyatrī.
So the book, which began with the sages' question, ends as every act of worship ends: with a list of names and obeisances.
