What language is Bear Mcreary's Apocalypse from Battlestar Galactica (lyrics)?
I have fond the lyrics, they go:
Oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
Tat savitur vareṇyaṃ
Bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt
Translation is supposed to be:
O earth, atmosphere, heaven:
May we attain that excellent glory
of Savitr the God:
So may he stimulate our prayers.
And Savitr is some Hinduistic deity symbolizing the sun, but Google Translate doesn't recognise it as Hindi. Sooo... what is it?
Thanks

Vedic Sanskrit.
It's a quotation from the Gayatri Mantra, an invocation to the deva Savitr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gayatri_Mantra
