Note:

The metre structure of each shloka is:

11 - 11 . --
11 - 11 .. ---

where the numbers indicate the number of syllables
and the dashes the relative pause required; a rather
straightforward metre.

Also note the recurring `tatsaviturvareNyam.h' of
the gAyatri mantra; this is a hymn to the Sun!
