Adhyaya 48 — The Emanation of Beings from Brahma: Night, Day, Twilight, and the Orders of Creation
गायत्रीञ्च ऋचञ्चैव त्रिवृत् सोमं रथन्तरम् ।
अग्निष्टोमञ्च यज्ञानां निर्ममे प्रथमांमुखात् ॥
gāyatrīñ ca ṛcañ caiva trivṛt somaṃ rathantaram | agniṣṭomañ ca yajñānāṃ nirmame prathamān mukhāt ||
Daripada mulut yang paling utama, Dia mencipta Gāyatrī dan himpunan Ṛk (madah), Trivṛt, Soma, Rathantara, serta Agniṣṭoma di antara korban-korban suci.

Ritual speech is not merely human convention but a cosmic principle: meters, hymns, and sacrifices are portrayed as woven into creation, grounding dharma in disciplined vāk and prescribed offering.
Sarga (and ritual-cosmology): the genesis of Vedic forms (chandas, stoma, sāman, soma-yajña) is integrated into the creation account, a typical Purāṇic way to authorize ritual tradition.
‘Mouth’ signifies the source of vibration; the emergence of Gāyatrī and ṛc indicates that ordered sound (chandas) is a structuring power of reality—mantra as the subtle architecture behind manifest order.
