Adi of that Saman.<br />

5<br />

What he is just at midday, that is the Udgitha. <strong>The</strong> devas<br />

(gods) are dependent upon it. <strong>The</strong>refore they are the best<br />

of the offspring of Prajapati, for they partake of the<br />

Udgitha of that Sa man.<br />

6<br />

What he is after midday and before afternoon, that is<br />

the Pratihara. <strong>The</strong> foetuses depend upon it. <strong>The</strong>refore<br />

they are held in the womb after being conceived and do<br />

not fall, for they partake of the Pratihara of the Saman.<br />

What he is after the afternoon and before sunset, that is<br />

the Upadrava. <strong>The</strong> animals of the forest depend upon it.<br />

<strong>The</strong>refore they run (upadravanti) to the forest and their<br />

caves when they see a man, for partake of the Upadrava<br />

of that Saman.<br />

8<br />

What he is just after the sunset, that is the Nidhana. <strong>The</strong><br />

Manes depend upon it. <strong>The</strong>refore they put them (i.e. the<br />

Manes) down (nidadhati), for they partake of the<br />

Nidhana of that Saman. Thus a man meditates on the<br />

sevenfold Saman as the sun.<br />
