Sample: I meditate on Gāyatrī, Who was the result of penance of Viśvāmitra, Who is dearest, Who is served by bumble-bee like sages, Who gives eternal or fleeting discerning knowledge, Who has a smiling face, Who is resplendent due to decoration by a crescent moon, Whose face is glowing red in color and has a betelnut, Who is situated in the middle of (twelve) Āditya, Who is dear to Hari, Who has three eyes, and Who has five heads.[1]
