The words Bhûmi (earth), Antariksha (sky), and Dyu (heaven) form eight syllables. One foot of the Gâyatrî consists of eight syllables. This (one foot) of it is that (i. e. the three worlds). And he who thus knows that foot of it, conquers as far as the three worlds extend.

प्राण क्षत्र है--इस प्रकार प्राणकी उपासना करे। धीमी और लंबी श्वास वेगस तंत्रिका को सक्रिय कर हृदय की गति और भय-प्रतिक्रिया को शांत करती है। यह पंक्ति उसी श्वास-मन संबंध को कहती है।
