Dhaumya’s Enumeration of Eastern Tīrthas
Prācī-diś Tīrtha-kathana
Devanagari script
गायत्रीं पठते यस्तु योनिसंकरजस्तथा । गाथा च गाथिका चापि तस्य सम्पद्यते नूप,राजन! जो वर्णसंकर योनिमें उत्पन्न हुआ है, वह यदि गायत्रीमन्त्रका पाठ करता है तो उसके मुखसे वह गाथा या गीतकी तरह स्वर और वर्णोके नियमसे रहित होकर निकलती है; अर्थात् वह गायत्रीका उच्चारण ठीक नहीं कर सकता
Transliteration
gāyatrīṃ paṭhate yas tu yonisaṅkarajas tathā | gāthā ca gāthikā cāpi tasya sampadyate nṛpa rājān |
Translation
Pulastya berkata: “Wahai raja, seseorang yang lahir daripada keturunan bercampur—jika dia cuba melafazkan mantera Gāyatrī—ucapannya berubah menjadi seperti nyanyian atau syair biasa, tanpa disiplin dan aturan bunyi suci. Ertinya, dia tidak mampu menyebut Gāyatrī dengan tepat.”
