Of the hymns in the Sama Veda I am the Brihatsama; of poetry I am the Gayatri. Of months I am Margashirsha (November-December), and of seasons I am flower-bearing spring.

Among the Sama Veda hymns: the Brihat-sama — the grandest, most solemn chant. Among all poetic meters: the Gayatri — the most sacred verse of the Vedas, the mother of all meters. Among the months: Margashirsha — considered the most auspicious, when the harvest is complete and the weather is clear. Among the seasons: spring — when the earth blooms and life renews.
