अथ खल्व् आत्मसंमितम् अतिमृत्यु सप्तविधं सामोपासीत । हिङ्कार इति त्र्यक्षरम् । प्रस्ताव इति त्र्यक्षरम् । तत् समम्
atha khalv ātmasaṃmitam atimṛtyu saptavidhaṃ sāmopāsīta | hiṅkāra iti tryakṣaram | prastāva iti tryakṣaram | tat samam
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Next let a man meditate on the sevenfold Sâman which is uniform in itself and leads beyond death. The word hinkâra has three syllables, the word prastâva has three syllables: that is equal (sama).
Translated by F. Max Müller
