Chāndogya Upaniṣad 3.12.1

ChU 3.12.1

गायत्री वा इदं सर्वं भूतं यद् इदम् किञ्च । वाग् वै गायत्री । वाग् वा इदं सर्वं भूतं गायति च त्रायते च

gāyatrī vā idaṃ sarvaṃ bhūtaṃ yad idam kiñca | vāg vai gāyatrī | vāg vā idaṃ sarvaṃ bhūtaṃ gāyati ca trāyate ca

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

The Gâyatrî (verse) is everything whatsoever here exists. Gâyatrî indeed is speech, for speech sings forth (gâya-ti) and protects (trâya-te) everything that here exists.

Translated by F. Max Müller
