गायकं त्रायते पाताद्गायत्रीत्युच्यते हि सा ।गायत्रीजपशुद्धो हि शुद्धब्राह्मण उच्यते । तस्माद्दाने जपे होमे पूजायां सर्वकर्मणि १८ ।
The one who chants the Gāyatrī mantra is protected from all dangers, and that mantra is known as the Gāyatrī. A person who recites the Gāyatrī mantra with purity is called a pure Brahmana. Therefore, in all acts such as charity, chanting, sacrifices, and worship, one should always be devoted.
