BṚHADĀRAṆYAKA UPANISHAD · 5.14.5

तां हैताम् एके सावित्रीम् अनुष्टुभम् अन्वाहुः ।
वाग् अनुष्टुप् ।
एतद् वाचम् अनुब्रूम इति ।
न तथा कुर्यात् ।
गायत्रीम् एव सावित्रीम् आनुब्रूयात् ।
यदि ह वा अप्य् एवंविद् बह्व् इव प्रतिगृह्णाति न हैव तद् गायत्र्या एकं चन पदं प्रति ॥

tāṃ haitām eke sāvitrīm anuṣṭubham anvāhuḥ ।
vāg anuṣṭup ।
etad vācam anubrūma iti ।
na tathā kuryāt ।
gāyatrīm eva sāvitrīm ānubrūyāt ।
yadi ha vā apy evaṃvid bahv iva pratigṛhṇāti na haiva tad gāyatryā ekaṃ cana padaṃ prati ॥

Some teach that Sâvitrî as an Anushtubh verse, saying that speech is Anushtubh, and that we teach that speech. Let no one do this, but let him teach the Gâyatrî as Sâvitrî. And even if one who knows this receives what seems to be much as his reward (as a teacher), yet this is not equal to one foot of the Gâyatrî.
