One should meditate on the fivefold Saman as the<br />

seasons. <strong>The</strong> syllable Him is the spring, the Prastava the<br />

summer, the Udgitha the rainy season, the Pratihara the<br />

autumn, the Nidhana the winter.<br />

<strong>The</strong> seasons belong to him and he becomes rich in<br />

seasons who, knowing this, meditates on the<br />

fivefold Saman as the seasons.<br />

<strong>The</strong> syllable Him is goats, the Prastava sheep, the<br />

Udgitha cows, the Pratihara horses, the Nidhana man.<br />

2<br />

Animals belong to him as objects of enjoyment and he<br />

becomes rich in animals who, knowing this, meditates<br />

on the fivefold Saman in animals.<br />
