छन्दोदर्शनम्
power of sight to the eye, the wise continuously see that Highest Poise of Vishnu.
Gayatri has three feet (padas) and they are the same as those of Savitr and vice versa. Gayatri lords over speech. Her three feet are expressible in words. The fourth 'foot' is ātmā, the Indweller of all. He is to be seen ( realised ) only and not expressible in words: because he is the Light Supreme.

The fourth poise was first referred to as darśata and there is a specific reference later to it as Darśayat Jyotiḥ. By this the Rshi reminds us that seeing or realising him who is everywhere, means further, that He is not to be considered merely as an object of sight because, He is that sees and shows, which actually means that the sight is the same as the seer and shower, but never can He be seen as an object of sight.
Thus ends the first hymn in the first Section.
