ŚĀ 7,18

"Insight is the first member, faith the second member, action the continuous text (saṃhitā), truth the joining," says Kāśyapa. This is the Satya-saṃhitā. Thus they say: "The gods are true to their word (satyasaṃdha)." 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.
