त्रयी विद्या हिङ्कारः । त्रय इमे लोकाः स प्रस्तावः । अग्निर् वायुर् आदित्यः स उद्गीथः । नक्षत्राणि वयांसि मरीचयः स प्रतिहारः । सर्पा गन्धर्वाः पितरस् तन् निधनम् । एतत् साम सर्वस्मिन् प्रोतम्

trayī vidyā hiṅkāraḥ | traya ime lokāḥ sa prastāvaḥ | agnir vāyur ādityaḥ sa udgīthaḥ | nakṣatrāṇi vayāṃsi marīcayaḥ sa pratihāraḥ | sarpā gandharvāḥ pitaras tan nidhanam | etat sāma sarvasmin protam

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

The hinkâra is the threefold knowledge, the prastâva these three worlds, the udgîtha Agni (fire), Vâyu (air), and Âditya (sun), the pratihâra the stars, the birds, and the rays, the nidhana the serpents, Gandharvas, and fathers. That is the Sâman, as interwoven in everything.
