Meditation on the Vairaja Saman<br />

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

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

the Nidhana<br />

2<br />

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

the seasons shines through children, cattle and the light<br />

of Brahman; he reach the full length of life, lives<br />

brightly, becomes great in children and cattle, great in<br />

fame. For him the injunction is: "Do not decry the<br />

seasons."<br />
