1. TENTH KHANDA
Next let a man meditate on the sevenfold Saman which is uniform in itself and leads beyond death. The word hinikara has three syllables, the word prastava has three syllables: that is equal (Sama).

2. The word Adi (first, Om) has two syllables, the word pratihara has four syllables. Taking one syllable from that over, that is equal (Sama). 
ādiriti dvyakṣaraṃ, saptavidhasya sāmnaḥ saṃkhyāpūraṇa oṅkāra ādirityucyate | pratihāra iti caturakṣaram | tata ihaikamakṣaramavacchidyā’dyakṣarayoḥ prakṣipyate | tena tatsamameva bhavati || 2 || 
udgītha iti tryakṣaram upadrava iti caturakṣaraṃ tribhis tribhiḥ samaṃ bhavati |
akṣaram atiśiṣyate tryakṣaram |
tat samam || 
. 
. 
3. The word udgitha has three syllables, the word upadrava has four syllables. With three and three syllables it should be equal. One syllable being left over, it becomes trisyllabic. Hence it is equal.

tat samam eva bhavati |
tāni ha vā etāni dvāviṃśatir akṣarāṇi || 
. 
. 
4. The word nidhana has three syllables, therefore it is equal. These make twenty-two syllables. 
nidhanamiti tryakṣaraṃ tatsamameva bhavati | evaṃ tryakṣarasamatayā sāmatvaṃ sampādya yathāprāptānyevākṣarāṇi saṃkhyāyante - tāni ha vā etāni saptabhaktināmākṣarāṇi dvāviṃśatiḥ || 4 ||

ekaviṃśo vā ito ’sāv ādityaḥ |

. 
. 
5. With twenty-one syllables a man reaches the sun (and death), for the sun is the twenty-first from here; with the twenty-second he conquers what is beyond the sun: that is blessedness, that is freedom from grief. 
tatraikaviṃśatyakṣarasaṃkhyayā’dityamāpnoti mṛtyum | yasmādekaviṃśa ito ’smāllokādasāvādityaḥ saṃkhyayā | "dvādaśa māsāḥ pañcartavasraya ime lokā asāvāditya ekaviṃśa"iti śruteratiśiṣṭena dvāviṃśenākṣareṇa paraṃ mṛtyorādityājjayatyāpnotītyarthaḥ | yacca tadādityātparaṃ kiṃ tat?nākaṃ kamiti sukhaṃ tasya pratiṣedho ’kaṃ tanna bhavatīti nākaṃ kamevetyarthaḥ | mṛtyuviṣayatvādduḥkhasya viśokaṃ ca tadvigataśokaṃ mānasaduḥkharahitamityarthaḥ | tadāpnotīti || 5 ||

6. He obtains here the victory over the sun (death), and there is a higher victory than the victory over the sun for him, who knowing this meditates on the sevenfold Saman as uniform in itself, which leads beyond death, yea, which leads beyond death.
