The second volume of the first chapter continues its discussion of syllable "Om", explaining its use as a struggle between "Devas" (gods) and "Asuras" (demons). Max Muller states that this struggle between gods and demons is considered allegorical by ancient Indian scholars, as good and evil inclinations within man, respectively. The legend in section 1.2 of Chandogya Upanishad states that gods took the "Udgitha" (song of "Om") unto themselves, thinking, "with this "song" we shall overcome the demons". The syllable "Om" is thus implied as that which inspires the good inclinations within each person.
