meditate on the object one wishes to obtain through
meditation: he (i.e. the udgatri priest) should meditate on
the Saman with which he is going chant the praise.

He (the udgatri priest) should meditate on the Rik in
which that Saman occurs, on the rishi to whom it was
revealed and on the deity whom he is going to praise.
10
He (the udgatri priest) should meditate on the metre in
which he is going to chant the praise; he should meditate
on the hymn by which he is going to chant the praise.
11
He (the udgatri priest) should meditate on the quarter
of space facing which he is going to chant the praise.
Finally, he (the udgatri priest) should meditate on
himself and then on the object desired and chant the
praise correctly. Thus will be quickly fulfilled for him
the desire, desiring which he may offer the hymn of
praise, yea, desiring which he may offer the hymn of
praise.
