Definition in this text:

A mantra from the Ṛgveda that is directed to Savitṛ, “the Vivifier,” the deity of the sun. Also known as the Gāyatrī mantra, the verse is bestowed together with the sacred thread during the upanayana ceremony, the initiation rite in which a brahmin boy becomes a “twice-born” and is thus entitled to learn the Vedas.
