यद् गायत्रे अधि गायत्रम् आहितं त्रैष्टुभं वा त्रैष्टुभान् निरतक्षत । यद् वा जगज् जगत्य् आहितं पदं य इत् तद् विदुस् ते अमृतत्वम् आनुशुः ॥१॥
yad gāyatre adhi gāyatram āhitaṃ traiṣṭubhaṃ vā traiṣṭubhān niratakṣata | yad vā jagaj jagaty āhitaṃ padaṃ ya it tad vidus te amṛtatvam ānuśuḥ ||1||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
That the gāyatrī́ -verse is set (ā-dhā) in the gāyatrī́ -verse, or that they fashioned the triṣṭúbh -verse out of the triṣṭúbh -verse, or that the jágatī step is set in the jágatī (jágat)—whoever know that, they have attained immortality.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
