अर्थMeaning
The words Bhûmi (earth), Antariksha (sky), and Dyu (heaven) form eight syllables. One foot of the Gâyatrî consists of eight syllables. This (one foot) of it is that (i. e. the three worlds). And he who thus knows that foot of it, conquers as far as the three worlds extend.

व्याख्याVyakhya
भूमि, अन्तरिक्ष और द्यौ — ये आठ अक्षर हैं। गायत्री का एक पद आठ अक्षरों का होता है। गायत्री का यह पद यही है। जो इसका यह पद ऐसा जानता है, वह उतने तक जीतता है जितने तक ये तीन लोक हैं।
