Meditation on the Fivefold Saman as the Senses<br />

One should meditate on the fivefold Saman, which is the<br />

most excellent, as the pranas (senses). <strong>The</strong> syllable Him<br />

is smell (i.e. the nose), the Prastava speech (the tongue),<br />

the Udgitha sight (the eye), the Pratihara hearing (the<br />

ear), the Nidhana the mind. <strong>The</strong>se are each greater than<br />

the preceding.<br />

<strong>The</strong> most excellent objects belong to him, nay, he<br />

conquers the most excellent worlds who, knowing this,<br />

meditates on the fivefold Saman, which is the most<br />

excellent, as the senses.<br />
