ChU 1.6.2

अन्तरिक्षम् एवर्क् । वायुः साम । तद् एतद् एतस्याम् ऋच्य् अध्यूढं साम । तस्माद् ऋच्य् अध्यूढं साम गीयते । अन्तरिक्षम् एव सा । वायुर् अमः । तत् साम

antarikṣam evark | vāyuḥ sāma | tad etad etasyām ṛcy adhyūḍhaṃ sāma | tasmād ṛcy adhyūḍhaṃ sāma gīyate | antarikṣam eva sā | vāyur amaḥ | tat sāma

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

The Rik is the sky, the Sâman air. This Sâman (air) rests on that Rik (sky). Therefore the Sâman is sung as resting on the Rik. Sâ is the sky, ama the air, and that makes Sâma.

Translated by F. Max Müller
