इयम् एवर्क् । अग्निः साम । तद् एतद् एतस्याम् ऋच्य् अध्यूढं साम । तस्माद् ऋच्य् अध्यूढं साम गीयते । इयम् एव सा । अग्निर् अमः । तत् साम

iyam evark | agniḥ sāma | tad etad etasyām ṛcy adhyūḍhaṃ sāma | tasmād ṛcy adhyūḍhaṃ sāma gīyate | iyam eva sā | agnir amaḥ | tat sāma

The Rik (veda) is this earth, the Sâman (veda) is fire. This Sâman (fire) rests on that Rik (earth). Therefore the Sâman is sung as resting on the Rik. Sâ is this earth, ama is fire, and that makes Sâma.
