The six-lettered Shiva-sentence

एतावत्तु शिवज्ञानमेतावत्परमं पदम् |
यदोंनमश्शिवायेति शिववाक्यं षडक्षरम् || 20 ||

This much is the knowledge about Lord Shiva; this is the highest
state, which is Om Namah Shivaya, the six-lettered Shiva-sentence.

Shloka 34 of chapter 17 in Vidyeshwara Samhita mentioned that the
five-lettered mantra should always be chanted with the Pranava (Om) in
the beginning.
