बृहत्साम तथा साम्नां गायत्री छन्दसामहम् । मासानां मार्गशीर्षोऽहमृतूनां कुसुमाकर: ।।35।
गायन करने योग्य श्रुतियों में मैं बृहत्साम और छन्दों में गायत्री छन्द हूँ तथा महीनों में मार्गशीर्ष और ऋतुओं में वसन्त मैं हूँ ।।35।।
Likewise among the srutis that can be sung, I am the variety known as Brhatsama; while among the vedic hymns, I am the hymn known as gayatri. Again, among the twelve months of the hindu calendar; I am the month known as ‘Margasirsa’ (corresponding approximately to november); and among the six seasons (successively appearing in India in course of a year ) I am the vernal season.
