अर्थMeaning
If a man (a teacher) were to receive as his fee these three worlds full of all things, he would obtain that first foot of the Gâyatrî. And if a man were to receive as his fee everything as far as this threefold knowledge extends, he would obtain that second foot of the Gâyatrî. And if a man were to receive as his fee everything whatsoever breathes, he would obtain that third foot of the Gâyatrî. But 'that fourth bright foot, shining high above the skies ' cannot be obtained by anybody--whence then could one receive such a fee?

व्याख्याVyakhya
जो इन तीनों लोकों को भरे हुए दान में ले, वह इसका यह पहला पद प्राप्त करे। फिर जो इस त्रयी विद्या जितना दान ले, वह इसका यह दूसरा पद प्राप्त करे। फिर जो इस प्राणी-जगत् जितना दान ले, वह इसका यह तीसरा पद प्राप्त करे। अब इसका यही तुरीय, दर्शत, परोरजस् पद — वह जो यह तपता है — किसी के द्वारा भी प्राप्त नहीं होता। फिर इतना दान कोई कहाँ से ले?
