1. NINTH KHANDA
Let a man meditate on the sevenfold Saman as the sun. The sun is Saman, because he is always the same (Sama); he is Saman because he is the same, everybody thinking he looks towards me, he looks towards me.

2. Let him know that all beings are dependent on him (the sun). What he is before his rising, that is the hinkara. On it animals are dependent. Therefore animals say hin (before sunrise), for they share the hinkara of that Saman (the sun).

4. What he is at the time of the sangava, that is the Adi, the first, the Om. On it birds are dependent. Therefore birds fly about in the sky without support, holding themselves, for they share the adi (the Om) of that Saman.

. 
. 
5. What he is just at noon, that is the udgitha. On it the Devas are dependent (because they are brilliant). Therefore they are the best of all the descendants of Pragapati, for they share the udgitha of that Saman. 
atha yatsamprati madhyandina ṛjumadhyandina ityarthaḥ | sa udgīthabhaktistadasya devā anvāyattāḥ | dyotanātiśayāttatkāle | tasmātte sattamā viśiṣṭatamāḥ | prājāpatyānāṃ prajāpatyapatyānāmudgīthabhājino hyetasya sāmnaḥ || 5 ||

6. What he is after midday and before afternoon, that is the pratihara. On it all germs are dependent. Therefore these, having been conceived (pratihrita), do not fall, for they share the pratihara of that Saman. 
atha yadūrdhvaṃ madhyandinātprāgaparāhnādyadrūpaṃ savituḥ sa pratihārastadasya garbhā anvāyattāḥ | ataste savituḥ pratihārabhaktirūpeṇordhvaṃ pratihṛtāḥ santo nāvapadyante nādhaḥ patanti taddvāre satyapītyarthaḥ | yataḥ pratihārabhājino hyetasya sāmno garbhāḥ || 6 ||

. 
7. What he is after the afternoon and before sunset, that is the upadrava. On it the animals of the forest are dependent. Therefore, when they see a man, they run (upadravanti) to the forest as a safe hiding-place, for they share the upadrava of that Saman. 
atha yadūrdhvamaparāhnātprāgastamayātsa upadravastadasyā’raṇyāḥ paśvo ’nvāyattāḥ | tasmātte puruṣaṃ dṛṣṭvā bhītāḥ kakṣamaraṇyaṃ śvabhraṃ bhayaśūnyamityupadravantyupagacchanti dṛṣṭvopadravaṇādupadravabhājino hyetasya sāmnaḥ || 7 ||

8. What he is when he first sets, that is the nidhana. On it the fathers are dependent. Therefore they put them down (nidadhati), for they share the nidhana of that Saman. Thus a man meditates on the sevenfold Saman as the sun. 
atha yatprathamāstamite ’darśanaṃ jigamiṣati savitari tannidhanaṃ tadasya pitaro ’nvāyattāstasmāttānnidadhati pitṛpitāmahaprapitāmaharūpeṇa darbheṣu nikṣipanti tāṃstadarthaṃ piṇḍānvā sthāpayanti | nidhanasambandhānnidhanabhājino hyetasya sāmnaḥ pitaraḥ | evamavayavaśaḥ saptadhā vibhaktaṃ khalvamumādityaṃ saptavidhaṃ sāmopāste yastasya tadāpattiḥ phalamiti vākyaśeṣaḥ || 8 ||
