svarasāmna upayantīme vai lokāḥ svarasāmāna.
imān vai lokān svarasāmabhir aspṛṇvaṃs, tat svarasāmnāṃ svarasāmatvaṃ.
tad yat svarasāmna upayanty, eṣv evainaṃ tal lokeṣv ābhajanti
teṣāṃ vai devāḥ saptadaśānām pravlayād abibhayuḥ:
samā iva vai stomā avigūḷhā iveme ha na pravliyerann iti.
tān sarvaiḥ stomair avastāt paryārṣan sarvaiḥ pṛṣṭhaiḥ parastāt.
tad yad abhijit sarvastomo 'vastād bhavati viśvajit sarvapṛṣṭhaḥ parastāt,
tat saptadaśān ubhayataḥ paryṛṣanti dhṛtyā apravlayāya
tasya vai devā Ādityasya svargāl lokād avapātād abibhayus,
tam pañcabhī raśmibhir udavayan.
raśmayo vai divākīrtyāni:
mahādivākirtyam pṛṣṭham bhavati, vikarṇam brahmasāma,
bhāsam agniṣṭomasāmobhe bṛhadrathaṃtare pavamānayor bhavatas.
tad Ādityam pañcabhī raśmibhir udvayanti dhṛtyā anavapātāyo/dita

the Svara Sāmans have their name. In that they perform the Svara Sāmans, they give him a share in these worlds. The gods were afraid of the sinking down of these Saptadaças, 'The Stomas are alike and unprotected; let them not sink down.' They secured them with all the Stomas from below, with all the Pṛṣṭhas from above; in that the Abhijit with all the Stomas is below, the Viçvajit with all the Pṛṣṭhas above, thus they secure the Saptadaças on both sides for security and to prevent sinking down. The gods were afraid of this Āditya falling from the world of heaven, they fastened him up with five ropes; the Divākīrtya (Sāmans) are the ropes; the Pṛṣṭha is the Mahā-Divākīrtya, the Sāman of the Brāhmaṇācchaṅsin is the Vikarṇa, the Agniṣṭoma Sāman is the Bhāsa, the Bṛhat and Rathantara are those of the Pavamānas; thus they fasten up Āditya with five ropes, for support, to avoid falling down. When the sun has arisen, he should recite the morning litany, for all the day (rite) is to be performed during the day time. They should offer as the victim to Sūrya (an animal) without blemish and white, in addition to (the victim) for the pressing, for this day has Sūrya as its deity. He should recite twenty-one kindling verses, for this day is openly the Ekaviṅça. Having recited fifty-one or fifty-two he places a Nivid in the middle; so many after he recites. Man has a hundred (years of) life, a hundred powers, and a hundred strengths; verily thus he confers upon him life, strength, and power.
