CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 1.7.2

चक्षुर् एवर्क् ।
आत्मा साम ।
तद् एतद् एतस्याम् ऋच्य् अध्यूढं साम ।
तस्माद् ऋच्य् अध्यूढं साम गीयते ।
चक्षुर् एव सा ।
आत्मामः ।
तत् साम ॥

cakṣur evark ।
ātmā sāma ।
tad etad etasyām ṛcy adhyūḍhaṃ sāma ।
tasmād ṛcy adhyūḍhaṃ sāma gīyate ।
cakṣur eva sā ।
ātmāmaḥ ।
tat sāma ॥

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

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