sarvāsv apsu pañcavidhaṃ sāmopāsīta megho yat saṃplavate sa hiṅkāraḥ yad varṣati sa prastāvaḥ yāḥ prācyaḥ syandante sa udgīthaḥ yāḥ pratīcyaḥ sa pratihāraḥ samudro nidhanam
Let a man meditate on the fivefold Sâman in all waters. When the clouds gather, that is the hinkâra; when it rains, that is the prastâva; that which flows in the east, that is the udgîtha; that which flows in the west, that is the pratihâra; the sea is the nidhana.
