In Sanskrit, there are definite rules that regulate poetry; rhyme and meter are not written whimsically, as in much modern poetry. Amongst the regulated poetry, the Gāyatrīmantra,which is chanted by the duly qualifiedbrāhmaṇas,is the most prominent. The Gāyatrīmantrais mentioned in theŚrīmad-Bhāgavatam.Because the Gāyatrīmantrais especially meant for God realization, it represents the Supreme Lord. Thismantrais meant for spiritually advanced people, and when one attains success in chanting it, he can enter into the transcendental position of the Lord.

Brahmā is its initiator, and it is passed down from him in disciplic succession.
