vidhiyajñāj japayajño viśiṣṭo daśabhir guṇaiḥ
upāṃśuḥ syāc chataguṇaḥ sahasro mānasaḥ smṛtaḥ //
The act of reciting (the syllable Om, the 'words,' and the Gâyatrî) is ten times better than the (Gyotishtoma or other) sacrifices prescribed (by the Veda); it is a hundred times better when muttered in a low voice; it is a thousand times better when repeated mentally only.
