पशुषु पञ्चविधं सामोपासीत । अजा हिङ्कारः । अवयः प्रस्तावः । गाव उद्गीथः । अश्वः प्रतिहारः । पुरुषो निधनम्
paśuṣu pañcavidhaṃ sāmopāsīta | ajā hiṅkāraḥ | avayaḥ prastāvaḥ | gāva udgīthaḥ | aśvaḥ pratihāraḥ | puruṣo nidhanam
Let a man meditate on the fivefold Sâman in animals. The hinkâra is goats, the prastâva sheep, the udgîtha cows, the pratihâra horses, the nidhana man.
Translated by F. Max Müller
भवन्ति हास्य पशवः पशुमान् भवति य एतद् एवं विद्वान् पशुषु पञ्चविधं सामोपास्ते
bhavanti hāsya paśavaḥ paśumān bhavati ya etad evaṃ vidvān paśuṣu pañcavidhaṃ sāmopāste
Animals belong to him, nay, he is rich in animals who knowing this meditates on the fivefold Sâman as animals.
