Sūtra
sarvebhyo vai vedebhyas-sāvitryanūcyata iti hi brāhmaṇam || 10 ||
Telugu
సర్వెభ్యొ వై వెదెభ్యస-సావిత్ర్యనూచ్యత ఇతి హి బ్రాహ్మణమ || 10 ||
Translation
A Brāhmaṇa text declares that the Gāyatrī is learnt for the sake of all the [three] Vedas.
Commentary / Explanation
This statement is to remove the doubt whether the ceremony of initiation is to be repeated for each of the Vedas. Only if the Atharvana Veda is to be studied is a separate initiation required.
