The thirteen / Chāndogya Upanishad / Adhyāya 2 · Khaṇḍa 3

CHĀNDOGYA UPANISHAD · 2.3.1

वृष्टौ पञ्चविधं सामोपासीत ।
पुरोवातो हिङ्कारः ।
मेघो जायते स प्रस्तावः ।
वर्षति स उद्गीथः ।
विद्योतते स्तनयति स प्रतिहारः ॥

vṛṣṭau pañcavidhaṃ sāmopāsīta ।
purovāto hiṅkāraḥ ।
megho jāyate sa prastāvaḥ ।
varṣati sa udgīthaḥ ।
vidyotate stanayati sa pratihāraḥ ॥

Let a man meditate on the fivefold Sâman as rain. The hiṅkâra is wind (that brings the rain); the prastâva is, 'the cloud is come;' the udgîtha is, 'it rains;' the pratihâra, 'it flashes, it thunders;'
