प्राणेषु पञ्चविधं परोवरीयः सामोपासीत । प्राणो हिङ्कारः । वाक् प्रस्तावः । चक्षुर् उद्गीथः । श्रोत्रं प्रतिहारः । मनो निधनम् । परोवरीयांसि वा एतानि

prāṇeṣu pañcavidhaṃ parovarīyaḥ sāmopāsīta | prāṇo hiṅkāraḥ | vāk prastāvaḥ | cakṣur udgīthaḥ | śrotraṃ pratihāraḥ | mano nidhanam | parovarīyāṃsi vā etāni

Let a man meditate on the fivefold Sâman, which is greater than great, as the prânas (senses). The hinkâra is smell (nose), the prastâva speech (tongue), the udgîtha sight (eye), the pratihâra hearing (ear), the nidhana mind. These are one greater than the other.
