अथाध्यात्मम् । वाग् एवर्क् । प्राणः साम । तद् एतद् एतस्याम् ऋच्य् अध्यूढं साम । तस्माद् ऋच्य् अध्यूढं साम गीयते । वाग् एव सा । प्राणो ऽमः । तत् साम

athādhyātmam | vāg evark | prāṇaḥ sāma | tad etad etasyām ṛcy adhyūḍhaṃ sāma | tasmād ṛcy adhyūḍhaṃ sāma gīyate | vāg eva sā | prāṇo 'maḥ | tat sāma

Now with reference to the body. Rik is speech, Sâman breath. This Sâman (breath) rests on that Rik (speech). Therefore the Sâman is sung as resting on the Rik. Sâ is speech, ama is breath, and that makes Sâma.
