The Gāyatrī Mantra is a highly revered mantra from the Vedas. Like all Vedic mantras, the Gayatri mantra is considered not to have an author, and like all other Vedic mantras, is believed to have been revealed to Brahmarshi Vishvamitra. It is a verse from a sukta of the Rigveda (Mandala 3.62.10). Gāyatrī is the name of the Vedic meter in which the verse is composed.[1] As the verse can be interpreted to invoke Savitr, it is also called the Sāvitrī mantra.[2] Its recitation is traditionally preceded by oṃ and the formula bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ, known as the mahāvyāhṛti "great (mystical) utterance".

The main mantra appears in the hymn RV 3.62.10. During its recitation, the hymn is preceded by oṃ (ॐ) and the formula bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ (भूर् भुवः स्वः). This prefixing of the mantra proper is described in the Taittiriya Aranyaka (2.11.1-8), which states that it should be chanted with the syllable oṃ, followed by the three Vyahrtis and the Gayatri verse. Whereas in principle the gāyatrī mantra specifies three pādas of eight syllables each, the text of the verse as preserved in the Samhita is one short, seven instead of eight. Metrical restoration would emend the attested tri-syllabic vareṇyaṃ with a tetra-syllabic vareṇiyaṃ.
The Gayatri mantra is, in Devanagari:

ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः ।
तत्स॑वि॒तुर्वरेण्यं॒
भर्गो॑ दे॒वस्य॑ धीमहि ।
धियो॒ यो नः॑ प्रचो॒दया॑त् ॥

om bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tát savitúr váreṇ(i)yaṃ
bhárgo devásya dhīmahi
dhíyo yó naḥ prachodayāt
– Rigveda 3.62.10

A literal translation of

tát savitúr váreṇ(i)yaṃ
bhárgo devásya dhīmahi
dhíyo yó naḥ prachodayāt

is as follows:

* tat - that
* savituḥ - from savitr̥, 'that which gives birth', 'the power inside the Sun' or the Sun itself
* vareṇiyaṁ - to choose, to select; the most choosable, the best

* bhargaḥ - to be luminous, the self-luminous one
* devasya - luminous/ radiant, the divine.
* tatsavitur devasya - "of that divine entity called Savitṛ"
* dhīmahi - to think about (something/somebody), to meditate upon (something/somebody)

* dhiyaḥ - intellect, a faculty of the spirit inside the body, life activity
* yaḥ - which
* naḥ - our, of us
* pracodayāt - to move in a specific direction.
* cod - to move (something/somebody) in a specific direction.
* pra - the prefix "forth, forward."
* pracud - "to move (something/somebody) forward"
* pracodayāt - "may it move (something/somebody) forward"; inspires
