1. FIRST KHANDA
Meditation on the whole of the Saman is good, and people, when anything is good, say it is Saman; when it is not good, it is not Saman.

2. Thus they also say, he approached him with Saman, i.e. becomingly; and he approached him without Saman, i.e. unbecomingly.

3. And they also say, truly this is Saman for us, i.e. it is good for us, when it is good; and truly that is not Saman for us, i.e. it is not good for us, when it is not good. 
athotāpyāhuḥ svasaṃvedyaṃ sāma no ’smākaṃ batetyanukampayataḥ saṃvṛttamityāhuḥ | etattairuktaṃ bhavati yatsādhu bhavati sādhu vatetyeva tadāhuḥ | viparyaye jāte ’sāma no bateti | yadasādhu bhavatyasādhu batetyeva tadāhuḥ tasmātsāmasādhuśabdayorekārthatvaṃ siddham || 3 || 
sa ya etad evaṃ vidvān sādhu sāmety upāste ’bhyāśo ha yad enaṃ sādhavo dharmā ā ca gaccheyur upa ca nameyuḥ ||

4. If any one knowing this meditates on the Saman as good, depend upon it all good qualities will approach quickly, aye, they will become his own.
