bṛhatsāma tathā sāmnāṃ gāyatrī chandasāmaham .\nmāsānāṃ mārgaśīrṣo.ahamṛtūnāṃ kusumākaraḥ ||10-35||
Amongst the hymns in the Samaveda know me to be the Brihatsama; amongst poetic meters I am the Gayatri. Of the twelve months of the Hindu calendar I am Margsheersh, and of seasons I am spring, which brings forth flowers.
