अब्राह्मणस्य सावित्रीं पठतस्तु प्रणश्यति । जो सर्वथा ब्राह्मण नहीं है, ऐसा मनुष्य यदि वहाँ गायत्रीमन्त्रका पाठ करे तो वहाँ वह मन्त्र लुप्त हो जाता है; अर्थात् उसे भूल जाता है
Transliteration
abrāhmaṇasya sāvitrīṁ paṭhatas tu praṇaśyati |

Pulastya berkata: “Bila seseorang yang bukan brāhmaṇa sejati melafalkan Sāvitrī (Gāyatrī), maka mantra itu ‘lenyap’ baginya—yakni tidak berakar dalam ingatan dan tidak berdaya guna.”
