Meditation on the Brihat Saman<br />

<strong>The</strong> rising of the sun is the syllable Him; the risen<br />

sun is the Prastava; the midday sun is the Udgitha;<br />

the afternoon sun is Pratihara; the setting sun is the<br />

Nidhana. This is the Brihat Saman as interwoven in<br />

the sun.<br />

He who thus knows the Brihat Saman as interwoven in<br />

the becomes radiant and endowed with a good appetite;<br />

he reaches the full length of life, lives brightly,<br />

becomes great in children and cattle, great in fame. For<br />

him the injunction is: "Do not decry the burning sun."<br />
