Now [there is] the Saṃhita [sāman] with a two-syllable finale, for support. A two-footed being, indeed, is the sacrificer, for support. The gods and the asuras contended. They said, 'Whatever wealth we both possess, let us pool that together. Whichever of us conquer, to them shall belong this pooled wealth of ours.' So whatever wealth they possessed, they pooled it together. The gods desired, 'May we conquer this pooled wealth.' They saw this sāman. With it they praised. With it they conquered the pooled wealth. Since they conquered the pooled wealth, that is the essence of the Saṃhita. He conquers his rival enemy, both [kinds of] pooled [wealth], who knows thus. And Āruṇi used to say: 'That horse, indeed, was the Saṃhita. In him, indeed, their wealth was pooled. That they wrested from the asuras, or rather, they wrested Prajāpati from them.' Then the gods flourished, the asuras were defeated. He flourishes by himself, his rival enemy is defeated, who knows thus.
