1.45.1
tad dha pṛthur vainyo divyān vrātyān papracche-
-indram uktham ṛcam udgītham āhur brahma sāma prāṇaṃ vyānam
mano vā cakṣur apānam āhuś śrotraṃ śrotriyā bahudhā vadantīti /
Then Pṛthu Vainya asked the divine Vrātyas:
'They call Indra the uktha, the ṛc, the udgītha, brahman, the sāman, breath, out-breath;
or mind, sight, down-breath do they call [him], hearing—the learned theologians speak of him in many ways.'
1.45.2
te pratyūcur
ṛṣaya ete mantrakṛtaḥ purājāḥ punar ājāyante vedānāṃ guptyai kam
te vai vidvāṁso vainya tad vadanti samānam puruṣam bahudhā niviṣṭam iti /
They answered:
'These ancient-born ṛṣis, makers of mantras, are born again for the sake of guarding the Vedas.
They, O Vainya, knowing that, speak of the same Person entered in many ways.'
1.45.3
imāṃ ha vā tad devatāṃ trayyāṃ vidyāyām imāṃ samānām abhy eka āpayanti naike
yo ha vāvaitad evaṃ veda sa evaitāṃ devatāṃ samprati veda /
Some bring this deity to unity in the threefold knowledge, and some do not. He who knows this thus, he alone truly knows this deity.
1.45.4
sa eṣa indra udgīthaḥ
sa yadaiṣa indra udgītha āgacchati naivodgātuś copagātṝṇāṃ ca vijñāyate
ita evordhvas svar udeti
sa upari mūrdhno lelāyati /
This Indra is the udgītha. When this Indra, the udgītha, arrives, neither the udgātṛ's nor the assistant chanters' [voice] is distinguished; rising upward from here, svaḥ goes up; it flickers above the head.
1.45.5
sa vidyād āgamad indro neha kaś cana pāpmā nyaṅgaḥ pariśekṣyata iti
tasmin ha na kaś cana pāpmā nyaṅgaḥ pariśiṣyate /
He should know: "Indra has arrived; no evil inserted syllable will remain here." Indeed, no evil inserted syllable remains in him.
1.45.6
tad etad abhrātṛvyaṃ sāma
na ha vā indraḥ kaṃ cana bhrātṛvyam paśyate
sa yathendro na kaṃ cana bhrātṛvyam paśyata evam eva na kaṃ cana bhrātṛvyam paśyate ya etad evaṃ vedātho yasyaivaṃ vidvān udgāyati /
caturdaśe 'nuvāke caturthaḥ khaṇḍaḥ
caturdaśo 'nuvākas samāptaḥ //
That is this sāman without a rival. Indra sees no rival at all. Just as Indra sees no rival, so one who knows this thus sees no rival at all; and likewise [he does not] for whom one who knows thus sings the udgītha.
Fourth khaṇḍa in the fourteenth anuvāka.
The fourteenth anuvāka is completed.
