Sandhyavandana / Gayatri Japa ritual (Vedic Avahana verses; the second passage from the Yajurveda tradition) · Unknown (Vedic ritual tradition) · Vedic
In the daily Sandhyavandana, the Gayatri Japa is not begun abruptly: the Goddess is first invoked and welcomed. The opening verse, 'Ayatu Varada Devi', calls Gayatri — the boon-granting Devi, imperishable and equal to Brahman, mother of all metres — to come and accept the worshipper's prayer. The following passage, drawn from the Yajurveda, exalts her as ojas, strength, radiance and the very universe, and closes by invoking her threefold form as Gayatri, Savitri and Sarasvati. Only then does the seeker take up the great Gayatri Mantra.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
The tradition holds that the Gayatri, called Vedamata, is the mother who gives the twice-born his spiritual birth; the Manusmriti praises her as the most purifying of all, and sages declare that one who invokes and meditates upon her daily is freed from sin and illumined by the light of Savitr. Whoever sincerely welcomes the Goddess before Japa is said to feel her living presence in the heart.

ಓಂ ಆಯಾತು ವರದಾ ದೇವೀ ಅಕ್ಷರಂ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಸಮ್ಮಿತಮ್। ಗಾಯತ್ರೀಂ ಛನ್ದಸಾಂ ಮಾತೇದಂ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮ ಜುಷಸ್ವ ನಃ॥
Om Ayatu Varada Devi Aksharam Brahma-Sammitam. Gayatrim Chandasam Mata Idam Brahma Jushasva Nah.
ಅರ್ಥ:Om — may the boon-granting Goddess come, the imperishable one, equal to Brahman; O Gayatri, mother of all the Vedic metres, be pleased to accept this our sacred prayer. You are vital lustre, you are might, you are strength, you are radiance; you are the abode and the name of the gods, you are the entire universe, the life of all, you are everything, the life of all and the all-surpassing One — Om. I invoke Gayatri; I invoke Savitri; I invoke Sarasvati. (These verses call the Gayatri-goddess to be present before the Japa begins.)
ಓಜೋಽಸಿ ಸಹೋಽಸಿ ಬಲಮಸಿ ಭ್ರಾಜೋಽಸಿ ದೇವಾನಾಂ ಧಾಮ ನಾಮಾಸಿ ವಿಶ್ವಮಸಿ ವಿಶ್ವಾಯುಃ ಸರ್ವಮಸಿ ಸರ್ವಾಯುರಭಿಭೂರೋಂ। ಗಾಯತ್ರೀಮಾವಾಹಯಾಮಿ ಸಾವಿತ್ರೀಮಾವಾಹಯಾಮಿ ಸರಸ್ವತೀಮಾವಾಹಯಾಮಿ॥
