ChU 2.9.8
अथ यत् प्रथमास्तमिते तन् निधनम् । तद् अस्य पितरो ऽन्वायत्ताः । तस्मात् तान् निदधति । निधनभाजिनो ह्य् एतस्य साम्नः । एवं खल्व् अमुम् आदित्यं सप्तविधं सामोपास्ते
atha yat prathamāstamite tan nidhanam | tad asya pitaro 'nvāyattāḥ | tasmāt tān nidadhati | nidhanabhājino hy etasya sāmnaḥ | evaṃ khalv amum ādityaṃ saptavidhaṃ sāmopāste
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
What he is when he first sets, that is the nidhana. On it the fathers are dependent Therefore they put them down (nidadhati), for they share the nidhana of that Sâman. Thus a man meditates on the sevenfold Sâman as the sun.
