If it be said (that Brahman is) not (referred to) on account of the metre (Gayatri) being mentioned; (we reply) no, because in that way ( i.e. by means of the metre), the application of the mind (on Brahman) has been inculcated ; for so ( i.e. through the help of the modifications of Brahman) it is seen (in other texts).
