अथ ये ऽस्य प्रत्यञ्चो रश्मायस् ता एवास्य प्रतीच्यो मधुनाड्यः । सामान्य् एव मधुकृतः । सामवेद एव पुष्पम् । ता अमृता आपः
atha ye 'sya pratyañco raśmāyas tā evāsya pratīcyo madhunāḍyaḥ | sāmāny eva madhukṛtaḥ | sāmaveda eva puṣpam | tā amṛtā āpaḥ
The western rays of the sun are the honey-cells behind. The Sâman verses are the bees, the Sâma-veda sacrifice is the flower, the water is the nectar.
Translated by F. Max Müller
तानि वा एतानि सामान्य् एतं सामवेदम् अभ्यतपन् । तस्याभितप्तस्य यशस् तेज इन्द्रियं वीर्यम् अन्नाद्यं रसो ऽजायत
tāni vā etāni sāmāny etaṃ sāmavedam abhyatapan | tasyābhitaptasya yaśas teja indriyaṃ vīryam annādyaṃ raso 'jāyata
Those very Sâman verses (as bees) brooded over the Sâma-veda sacrifice; and from it, thus brooded on, sprang as its (nectar) essence, fame, glory of countenance, vigour, strength, and health.
Translated by F. Max Müller
तद् व्यक्षरत् । तद् आदित्यम् अभितो ऽश्रयत् । तद् वा एतद् यद् एतद् आदित्यस्य कृष्णं रूपम्
tad vyakṣarat | tad ādityam abhito 'śrayat | tad vā etad yad etad ādityasya kṛṣṇaṃ rūpam
That flowed forth and went towards the sun. And that forms what we call the dark (krishna) light of the sun.
