Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 10: The Divine Glories

Bhagavad Gita 10.35

बृहत्साम तथा साम्नां गायत्री छन्दसामहम् । मासानां मार्गशीर्षोऽहमृतूनां कुसुमाकरः ॥

bṛhatsāma tathā sāmnāṃ gāyatrī chandasāmaham | māsānāṃ mārgaśīrṣo'hamṛtūnāṃ kusumākaraḥ ||

Among the hymns of the Sama Veda I am the Brihatsaman; among metres I am the Gayatri; among months I am Margashirsha; and among seasons I am the flowering spring.

Modern context

Among metres, the Gayatri, the metre of India's most recited prayer. Among months, Margashirsha, roughly November to December, the gentle season after the harvest. Among seasons, spring, the 'mine of flowers'. The divine is found in the most beautiful forms of song and in the most pleasant times of the year. Beauty itself is a doorway.
