"Among hymns I am the Brihat-sama; among meters, the Gayatri; among months, Margashirsha; among seasons, the flower-bearer (spring)."
What This Means:
Among Sama Veda hymns, Brihat-sama. Among poetic meters, Gayatri. Among months, Margashirsha (November-December). Among seasons, spring (kusumakara, 'flower-bearer').
Going Deeper:
The Gayatri meter is considered most sacred, used in the famous Gayatri mantra. Spring as 'flower-bearer' represents nature's renewal and abundance. Poetry, time, and seasons all manifest divinity.
How To Apply This:
The Gayatri mantra in Gayatri meter is recommended for practice, it's highlighted as divine among all mantras. And spring's renewal reminds us that life constantly regenerates.
