3.4.1.12
śyenāya tvā somabhṛte viṣṇave tveti | tadgāyatrīmanvābhajati sā yadgāyatrī śyeno bhūtvā divaḥ somamāharattena sā śyenaḥ somabhṛttenaivaināmetadvīryeṇa dvitīyamanvābhajati
'Thee for the Soma-bearing falcon! thee for Vishnu!' thereby he assigns to Gâyatrî her share. Because Gâyatrî, in the form of a falcon, carried off Soma from the sky, therefore she is the Soma-bearing falcon: in virtue of that heroic deed he now assigns to her a second share.
