BRIHADARANYAKA UPANISHAD NOUN

BrihadArUpa5 4 That Gayatri rests on this fourth, apparently visible, supramundane foot. That again rests on truth. The eye is truth, for the eye is indeed truth. Therefore if even today two persons come disputing, one saying, I saw it and another, I heard of it we believe him only who says, I saw it That truth rests on strength. The vital force is strength. Hence() truth rests on the vital force. Therefore they say strength is more powerful than truth. Thus the Gayatri rests on the vital force within the body. That Gayatri saved the Gayas. The organs are the Gayas; so it saved the organs. Now, because it saved the organs, therefore it is called the Gayatri. The Savitri that the teacher communicates to the pupil is no other than this. It saves the organs of him to whom it is communicated.
BrihadArUpa5 5 Some communicate (to the pupil) the Savitri that is Anustubh (saying), speech is Anustubh; we shall impart that to him One should not do like that. One should communicate that Savitri which is the Gayatri. Even if a man who knows as above accepts too much as gift, as it were, it is not (enough) for even one foot of the Gayatri.
