5.14.5

tām̐ haitāmeke sāvitrīmanuṣṭubhamanvāhurvāganuṣṭubetadvācamanubrūma iti na tathā kuryādgāyatrīmeva sāvitrīmanubrūyādyadiha vā apyevaṃvidbahviva pratigṛhṇāti na haiva tadgāyatryāekaṃcana padaṃ prati

Some communicate (to the pupil) the Sāvitrī that is Anuṣṭubh (saying), 'Speech is Anuṣṭubh; we shall impart that to him.' One should not do like that. One should communicate that Sāvitrī which is the Gāyatrī. Even if a man who knows as above accepts too much as gift, as it were, it is not (enough) for even one foot of the Gāyatrī.
