> They chant on Gāyatrī verses; the Gāyatrī is unexhausted among meters, for the sake of unexhaustedness.  
> They chant on three \[verses\]; three indeed are these worlds—to attain these worlds.  
> Moreover, three are the breaths: expiration, inhalation, and diffused breath.  
> Having continued these, having become established in them, they attain the conclusion.  
> The Gāyatra is the sāman; unexhausted indeed is the Gāyatra, for the sake of unexhaustedness.  
> Moreover, the mind is the Gāyatra.  
> With the mind alone do they prosper this; with the mind they turn \[it\]; with the mind they make the him sound;  
> with the mind he chants the prologue; with the mind he takes up the beginning; with the mind he sings the udgītha; with the mind he responds;  
> with the mind he sings the upadrava; with the mind they approach the finale, to conclude what is unfinished.  
> What of the sacrifice the gods could not conclude with speech, that of it they concluded with the mind.  
> In that they praise with the mind, it is to conclude what is unfinished.  
> The sap indeed of this day flowed past;  
> they seized it with the mind alone.  
> This is indeed that sap.  
> In that they praise with the mind, it is so that the sap does not flow past.
