ChU 1.6.5

अथ यद् एतद् आदित्यस्य शुक्लं भाः सैवर्क् । अथ यन् नीलं परःकृष्णं तत् साम । तद् एतद् एतस्याम् ऋच्य् अध्यूढं साम । तस्मद् ऋच्य् अध्यूढं साम गीयते

atha yad etad ādityasya śuklaṃ bhāḥ saivark | atha yan nīlaṃ paraḥkṛṣṇaṃ tat sāma | tad etad etasyām ṛcy adhyūḍhaṃ sāma | tasmad ṛcy adhyūḍhaṃ sāma gīyate

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

Rik is the white light of the sun, Sâman the blue exceeding darkness (in the sun). This Sâman (darkness) rests on that Rik (brightness). Therefore the Sâman is sung as resting on the Rik.

Translated by F. Max Müller
