Chapter II
Meditation on the Fivefold Saman (II)
One should meditate on the fivefold Saman as the five
worlds. The syllable Him is the earth, the Prastava fire,
the Udgitha the sky, the Pratihara the sun, the Nidhana
heaven. This is with reference to the ascending order.
2
Now with reference to the descending order:
The syllable Him is heaven, the Prastava the sun, the
Udgitha the sky, the Pratihara fire, the Nidhana the
earth.
3
The worlds in the ascending and descending orders
belong to him who, knowing this, meditates on the
fivefold Saman as the worlds.
