Meditation on the Sevenfold Saman in Speech<br />

Now for the sevenfold Saman:<br />

One should meditate on the sevenfold Saman in speech.<br />

When there is the syllable Hum in speech, that is the<br />

syllable Him; likewise Pra is the Prastava, A is the Adi.<br />

2<br />

Ud is the Udgitha, Pra the Pratihara, Upa the Upadrava,<br />

Ni the Nidhana.<br />

For him speech yields milk, which is the milk of speech<br />

and he becomes rich in food and the eater of food who,<br />

knowing this, meditates on the sevenfold Saman in<br />

speech.<br />
