The Upanishad describes the Savitri-vidya (knowledge of sunlight), asserting that everything in the universe is a manifestation of the masculine Savitr and feminine Savitri,[1] elaborating on the Gayatri Mantra.[3][4] The text also presents the Advaitic notion of nondual Brahman,[5] as well as two mantras called the Bala (Strength) and Atibala (Super Strength) to meditate on Virat Purusha and Om.[6]
