yo gāyatrīṃ hariṇīm jyotiṣpakṣāṃ yajamānaṃ svargaṃ lokamabhivahantīṃ vidyāditi tasmai ha niṣkam pradadāvanūcānaḥ svaidāyanāsi suvarṇaṃ vāva suvarṇavide dadatīti taṃ hopaguhya niścakrāma taṃ ha papracuḥ kimivaiṣa gautamasya putro'bhūditi
'And he who knows the golden, brilliant-winged Gâyatrî who bears the Sacrificer to the heavenly world.' Then he (Uddâlaka) gave up to him the gold coin, saying, 'Thou art learned, Svaidâyana; and, verily, gold is given unto him who knows gold;' and he (Svaidâyana), having concealed it, went away. They asked him, 'How did that son of Gautama behave?'
