विनर्दि साम्नो वृणे पशव्यम् इत्य् अग्नेर् उद्गीथः । अनिरुक्तः प्रजापतेः । निरुक्तः सोमस्य । मृदु श्लक्ष्णं वायोः । श्लक्ष्णं बलवद् इन्द्रस्य । क्रौञ्चं बृहस्पतेः । अपध्वान्तं वरुणस्य । तान् सर्वान् एवोपसेवेत । वारुणं त्व् एव वर्जयेत्

vinardi sāmno vṛṇe paśavyam ity agner udgīthaḥ | aniruktaḥ prajāpateḥ | niruktaḥ somasya | mṛdu ślakṣṇaṃ vāyoḥ | ślakṣṇaṃ balavad indrasya | krauñcaṃ bṛhaspateḥ | apadhvāntaṃ varuṇasya | tān sarvān evopaseveta | vāruṇaṃ tv eva varjayet

The udgîtha, of which a poet said, I choose the deep sounding note of the Sâman as good for cattle, belongs to Agni; the indefinite note belongs to Pragâpati, the definite note to Soma, the soft and smooth note to Vâyu, the smooth and strong note to Indra, the heron-like note to Brihaspati, the dull note to Varuna. Let a man cultivate all of these, avoiding, however, that of Varuna.
