Recitation of the Gayatri Mantra is preceded by oṃ(ॐ) and the formula bhūr bhuva svaḥ ḥ ( भ ूर् भुवः सवः), known as the mahāvyāh tiṛ ("great utterance"). This prefixing of the mantra proper is described
in the Taittiriya Aranyaka (2.11.1-8), which states that scriptural recitation was always to begin with
the chanting of the syllable oṃ, followed by the three Vyahrtis and the Gayatri verse.
Following the mahāvyāh tiṛ is then the mantra proper, the verse RV 3.62.10:
In Devanagari:
तत् िवतुवर ेणय ं । भगो द ेवसय धीिमह ।
ि धय य नः पचदयात् ॥
In IAST:
tát savitúr váre yaṇ ṃ
bhárgo devásya dhīmahi
dhíyo yó na pracodáyāt ḥ
