समस्तस्य खलु साम्न उपासनं साधु । यत् खलु साधु तत् सामेत्य् आचक्षते । यद् असाधु तद् असामेति
samastasya khalu sāmna upāsanaṃ sādhu | yat khalu sādhu tat sāmety ācakṣate | yad asādhu tad asāmeti
Meditation on the whole of the Sâman is good, and people, when anything is good, say it is Sâman; when it is not good, it is not Sâman.
Translated by F. Max Müller
तद् उताप्य् आहुः । साम्नैनम् उपागाद् इति साधुनैनम् उपागाद् इत्य् एव तद् आहुः । असाम्नैनम् उपागाद् इत्य् एव तद् आहुः
tad utāpy āhuḥ | sāmnainam upāgād iti sādhunainam upāgād ity eva tad āhuḥ | asāmnainam upāgād ity eva tad āhuḥ
Thus they also say, he approached him with Sâman, i.e. becomingly; and he approached him without Sâman, i. e. unbecomingly.
Translated by F. Max Müller
अथोताप्य् आहुः । साम नो बतेति यत् साधु भवति साधु बतेत्य् एव तद् आहुः । असाम नो बतेति यद् असाधु भवत्य् असाधु बतेत्य् एव तद् आहुः
athotāpy āhuḥ | sāma no bateti yat sādhu bhavati sādhu batety eva tad āhuḥ | asāma no bateti yad asādhu bhavaty asādhu batety eva tad āhuḥ
And they also say, truly this is Sâman for us, i.e. it is good for us, when it is good; and truly that is not Sâman for us, i. e. it is not good for us, when it is not good.
Translated by F. Max Müller
स य एतद् एवं विद्वान् साधु सामेत्य् उपास्ते ऽभ्याशो ह यद् एनं साधवो धर्मा आ च गच्छेयुर् उप च नमेयुः
sa ya etad evaṃ vidvān sādhu sāmety upāste 'bhyāśo ha yad enaṃ sādhavo dharmā ā ca gaccheyur upa ca nameyuḥ
If any one knowing this meditates on the Sâman as good, depend upon it all good qualities will approach quickly, aye, they will become his own.
Translated by F. Max Müller
