CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 1.6.3

द्यौर् एवर्क् ।
आदित्यः साम ।
तद् एतद् एतस्याम् ऋच्य् अध्यूढं साम ।
तस्माद् ऋच्य् अध्यूढं साम गीयते ।
द्यौर् एव सा ।
आदित्यो ऽमः ।
तत् साम ॥

dyaur evark ।
ādityaḥ sāma ।
tad etad etasyām ṛcy adhyūḍhaṃ sāma ।
tasmād ṛcy adhyūḍhaṃ sāma gīyate ।
dyaur eva sā ।
ādityo ’maḥ ।
tat sāma ॥

Rik is heaven, Sâman the sun. This Sâman (sun) rests on that Rik (heaven). Therefore the Sâman is sung as resting on the Rik. Sâ is heaven, ama the sun, and that makes Sâma.

F. Max Müller · The Upanishads, Sacred Books of the East 1 (1879)
