Recital, is evidence as against the parties to the instrument and those claiming under them and in an action on the instrument itself, the recitals operate as an estoppel, though would not be so on a collateral matter, Ram Charan Das v. Girja Nandini Devi, AIR 1966 SC 323: (1965) 1 SCWR 837: (1966) 1 SCJ 61.The rehearsal or making mention in a deed or writing of something which has been done before, 1 Lilly Abr. 416. As to how far the recitals govern the construction of a deed the rule is as follows:-If the recitals are clear and the operative part is ambiguous, the recitals govern the construction. If the recitals are ambiguous, and the operative part is clear, the operative part must prevail. If both the recitals and the operative part are clear, but they are inconsistent with each other, the operative part is to be preferred [Ex parte Dawes, (1886) 17 QBD 286, per Lord Esher, M.R.].

Deed
Deed [fr. d'd, Sax.; ded gaded, Goth.;daed, Dut.], a formal document on paper or parchment duly signed, sealed, and delivered. It is either an indenture (factum inter partes) needing an actual indentation [(English) Real Property Act, 1845 (8 & 9 Vict. c. 106), s. 5], reproduced by the Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 56 (2), made between two or more persons in different interests, or a deed-poll (charta de una parte) made by a single person or by two or more persons having similar interests.

Om
Om, the expression 'Om' is respected by the Hindus generally and has a special significance in the Hindu scriptures. It is recited at the commence-ment of the recitations of Hindu religious works. Macdonell in his 'A Practical Sanskrit Dictionary' states that 'Om' is the sacred syllable used in invocations, at the commencement of prayers, at the beginning and the end of Vedic recitation, and as a respectful salutation: it is a subject of many mystical speculations. In the Sanskrit-English Dictionary by Monier-William it is said that 'Om' is a sacred exclamation which may be uttered at the beginning and end of a reading of the Vedas or previously to any prayer; it is also regarded as a particle of auspicious salutation. To 'Om' high spiritual or mystical efficacy is undoubtedly ascribed; but its use on a flag ('Om Dhwaj') does not symbolise religion, or anything religious, Jagdev Singh Sidhanti v. Pratap Singh Daulta, AIR 1965 SC 183: (1964) 6 SCR 750....
