The commentators

Bhagavadgītābhāṣyam· bhāṣya

महर्षीणां भृगुः अहम् । गिरां वाचां पदलक्षणानाम् एकम् अक्षरम् ओङ्कारः अस्मि । यज्ञानां जपयज्ञः अस्मि, स्थावराणां स्थितिमतां हिमालयः ॥ २५ ॥

Among the great seers, I am Bhṛgu. Among utterances — speech, that is, made of formed words — I am the single syllable: Oṃ. Among sacrifices I am the sacrifice of quiet repetition; and among all that is immovable, all that simply stands and stays, I am the Himālaya. || 25 ||
