English translation:

“He constructs the prayer with the gāyatrī metre; with the prayer (he constructs) the Soma, and with the triṣṭubh metre the couplet (or triplet); with the couplet (or triplet) he constructs the hymn with (verses of) two or four distichs; and with the syllable they construct the seven metres.”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

Gāyatreṇa parimimīte arkam: he, severally measures the mantra with the gāyatrī metre;or, a part being put for the whole, with any Vedic metre; tṛṣṭubhena vākam: vāka signifies either dvṛca or tṛca rūpam, the form or phrase of two or three hymns; or, it may imply a sūkta; vākena vākam: the first vāka is interpreted as sūkta, when repeated it implies the varga or anuvāka; if vāka signifies a couplet or triplet, is may be applicable to the sūkta; akṣarena sapta vāṇīḥ = the seven genitive ric metres of the Veda with the syllable, the syllable being the chief element of the metre; gāyatrī has eight syllables; trṣṭubh has eleven syllables; jagatī has twelve syllables. The classification of the metrical system of the Vedas is ascribed to Brahmā or the ṛṣis, the priests
