ŚĀ 7,12
atha khalvāhur nirbhujavaktrāḥ | pūrvam evākṣaraṃ pūrvarūpam uttaram uttararūpam | yakāravakārāvantareṇa sā saṃhiteti | sa ya evam etāṃ saṃhitāṃ veda saṃdhīyate prajayā paśubhir yaśasā brahmavarcasena svargeṇa lokena sarvam āyur eti ||

Now indeed the teachers of the Nirbhuja say: "The preceding syllable is the first member, the subsequent is the second member; the interval of the sound y and the sound v is the continuous text (saṃhitā)." He who knows this continuous text (saṃhitā) thus is joined with offspring, cattle, fame, brahminical splendour, and the heavenly world; he attains a full lifespan.
