लोकेषु पञ्चविधं सामोपासीत । पृथिवी हिङ्कारः । अग्निः प्रस्तावः । अन्तरिक्षम् उद्गीथः । आदित्यः प्रतिहारः । द्यौर् निधनम् । इत्य् ऊर्ध्वेषु
lokeṣu pañcavidhaṃ sāmopāsīta | pṛthivī hiṅkāraḥ | agniḥ prastāvaḥ | antarikṣam udgīthaḥ | ādityaḥ pratihāraḥ | dyaur nidhanam | ity ūrdhveṣu
Let a man meditate on the fivefold Sâman as the five worlds. The hinkâra is the earth, the prastâva the fire, the udgîtha the sky, the pratihâra the sun, the nidhana heaven; so in an ascending line.
Translated by F. Max Müller
अथावृत्तेषु । द्यौर् हिङ्कारः । आदित्यः प्रस्तावः । अन्तरिक्षम् उद्गीथः । अग्निः प्रतिहारः । पृथिवी निधनम्
athāvṛtteṣu | dyaur hiṅkāraḥ | ādityaḥ prastāvaḥ | antarikṣam udgīthaḥ | agniḥ pratihāraḥ | pṛthivī nidhanam
In a descending line, the hinkâra is heaven, the prastâva the sun, the udgîtha the sky, the pratihâra the fire, the nidhana the earth.
Translated by F. Max Müller
कल्पन्ते हास्मै लोका ऊर्ध्वाश् चावृत्तश् च य एतद् एवं विद्वांल् लोकेषु पञ्चविधं सामोपास्ते
kalpante hāsmai lokā ūrdhvāś cāvṛttaś ca ya etad evaṃ vidvāṃl lokeṣu pañcavidhaṃ sāmopāste
The worlds in an ascending and in a descending line belong to him who knowing this meditates on the fivefold Sâman as the worlds.
