Bhagavad Gita 10.25

महर्षीणां भृगुरहं गिरामस्म्येकमक्षरम्।यज्ञानां जपयज्ञोऽस्मि स्थावराणां हिमालयः॥

maharṣīṇāṃ bhṛgurahaṃ girāmasmyekamakṣaram |yajñānāṃ japayajño'smi sthāvarāṇāṃ himālayaḥ ||

Among the great sages, I am Bhrigu; among words, I am the one syllable (Om); among sacrifices, I am the sacrifice of silent repetition; among the immovable things, I am the Himalayas.

Of the great seers, I am Bhrigu; of words, I am Om; of offerings, I am the silent prayer; among things immovable, I am the Himalayas.
