which are evidence from the  Vedas ;  gītam —what has been spoken;  śṛṇu —just hear;  me —from me;  asura-sattama —O best of the  asuras ;  satyam —the truth is;  om iti —preceded by the word  om ;  yat —that which;  proktam —has been spoken;  yat —that which is;  na —not preceded by  om ;  iti —thus;  āha —it is said;  anṛtam —untruth;  hi —indeed;  tat —that.
TRANSLATION
One might argue that since you have already promised, how can you refuse? O best of the demons, just take from me the evidence of the  Bahvṛca-śruti , which says that a promise is truthful preceded by the word  om  and untruthful if not.
TEXT 39
सत्यं पुष्पफलं विद्यादात्मवृक्षस्य गीयते ।
वृक्षेऽजीवति तन्न स्यादनृतं मूलमात्मनः ॥३९॥
satyam puṣpa-phalam vidyād
ātma-vṛkṣasya gīyate
vṛkṣe 'jīvati tan na syād
anṛtam mūlam ātmanaḥ
satyam —the factual truth;  puṣpa-phalam —the flower and the fruit;  vidyāt —one should understand;  ātma-vṛkṣasya —of the tree of the body;  gīyate —as described in the  Vedas ;  vṛkṣe ajīvati —if the tree is not living;  tat —that ( puṣpa-phalam );  na —not;  syāt —is possible;  anṛtam —untruth;  mūlam —the root;  ātmanaḥ —of the body.
TRANSLATION
The  Vedas  enjoin that the factual result of the tree of the body is the good fruits and flowers derived from it. But if the bodily tree does not exist, there is no possibility of factual fruits and flowers. Even if the body is based on untruth, there cannot be factual fruits and flowers without the help of the bodily tree.
