Meaning -
O’ King, the nourisher of all, with penta-syllabic metre, thou hast won the five regions, may I also win them. Resplendent like the sun, thou, O King, with six syllabic metre has controlled the six seasons, may I also control them. O King, fast like the sun, as thou with hepta syllabic metre rearest the seven domestic animals, so may I also rear them, O learned King, as thou with octosyllabic metre followest the self-preserving policy, so may I also follow it.
-
Penta syllable metre means Daivi Pankti Chhand. Five regions; North, South, East, Westi and overhead direction. Six-syllabic metre means Daivi Trishtup Chhand. Six seasons are Spring, Summer, Rains, Autumn, Winter, Dews. Hepta-syllabic metre means Daivi Jagati Chhand. Seven domestic animals are cow, horse, buffalo, camel, goat, sheep, and ass. Octosyllabic metre means Yajushi Anushtup Chhand. Gayatri according to Pt. Jai Dev, Vidyalankar, and vedic Sansthan Mathura mean earth, that protects and nourishes us all. Maharshi Swami Dayananda interprets it as self-preserving policy.
