CHAPTER TWENTYTHREE.

Worship of Siva.

SUta said:

4. Gayatri generally means a verse composed in the Vcdic metre called Gayatri which is of 24 syllables, usually a triplet of eight syllables each.

Butin the Indian culture it has assumed a specific meaning and the following Rgvedic Verse is popularly known as Gayatri (because it is also composed in the Gayatri metre). Tat savitur varenyarh bhargo devasya dhiraahi/ dhiyo yo nah pracodayat//

(RV 3. 62. 10)

Every caste Hindu is expected to repeat this verse during morning and evening devotions (sandhya). As it is addressed to Savitf, the sun, it is also called S& vitri.

Gayatri is also personified as a goddess and is said to be the wife of Brahma and the mother of the four Vedas and the first three castes.

It is held very sacred and atti ibuted with many mystical and philosophical potentialities. The T& ntrikas have a number of mystical verses, each one attributed to a particular deity, and these are also known by the name of G& yatri. (Also Liliga (d/TAf), p. 796, SED, p. 352; CDHM, pp. n 1-2).
