chandas Prose, from the Aitareya Brahmana

স্ৱাৰাজ্যম্ rule of oneself — Svarajya is being one’s own master. The list runs from ruling others to ruling oneself and back again, each word a different reach of power.

মৰুত্তস্য of Marutta — A king of old whose sacrifice was so great that the Maruts themselves waited on him and the All-gods sat in his court. He is held up as the measure of a full reign.

একৰাট্ sole ruler — Eka-raj, the one who rules with no second. It is the last and largest word in the list.

note This passage is the old blessing said over a king. A line is printed twice in the source, from ৱৈৰাজ্যং to আধিপত্যমযং; it is read once. মৰূতস্য is printed for মৰুত্তস্য. The verse it introduces ends at the start of the next block.

• কামপ্ৰেঃ (kāmapreḥ)who moved men to desire
• ৱিশ্ৱেদেৱাঃ (viśvedevāḥ)the All-gods
• সভাসদঃ (sabhāsadaḥ)sat in the assembly
• ইতি (iti)so ends the verse
• একদন্তায (ekadantāya)of the one-tusked
• ৱিদ্মহে (vidmahe)we know
• ৱক্ৰতুণ্ডায (vakratuṇḍāya)on the curving trunk

• তত্ (tat)may that
• নঃ (naḥ)us
• দন্তী (dantī)the tusked one
• প্ৰচোদযাত্ (pracodayāt)drive on
• মন্ত্ৰপুষ্পাঞ্জলিম্ (mantrapuṣpāñjalim)the handful of flowers offered with mantras
• সমৰ্পযামি (samarpayāmi)I offer

chandas Irregular block: the close of the verse on Marutta, the Ganesha Gayatri, and the closing offering

ধীমহি we set our minds — The same word stands at the heart of the Gayatri itself. What follows it is always the request that the mind be driven on.

অঞ্জলি a handful — The anjali is the cup made by putting both palms together. The flowers are held there through all the verses and released at the last line.

note The verse on Marutta closes with ইতি. Then comes the Ganesha Gayatri, said before the flowers are let go. একদংতাযৱিঘ্মহে is printed as one word; it is read একদন্তায ৱিদ্মহে. ৱিশ্ৰ্ৱেদেৱা: is printed for ৱিশ্ৱেদেৱাঃ.
