Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 8.9.20

AVŚ 8.9.20

कथं गायत्री त्रिवृतं व्य् आप कथं त्रिष्टुप् पञ्चदशेन कल्पते । त्रयस्त्रिंशेन जगती कथम् अनुष्टुप् कथम् एकविंशः ॥२०॥ २३

kathaṃ gāyatrī trivṛtaṃ vy āpa kathaṃ triṣṭup pañcadaśena kalpate | trayastriṃśena jagatī katham anuṣṭup katham ekaviṃśaḥ ||20|| 23

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

How did gāyatrī permeate (vi-āp) the triple [stóma]? how is triṣṭúbh adapted to that of fifteen? how jāgatī to that of thirty-three? how [is] anuṣṭúbh that of twenty-one?

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
