[RS 9.107.4] / This is the transition to the two earlier pressings. / On them is the Śyāvāśva [sāman]. / Śyāvāśva Ārcanānasa, who had gone away gathering firewood, his fellow session-sacrificers abandoned and went to the heavenly world. / He desired, 'May I fly up after them to the heavenly world; may I meet with my fellow session-sacrificers.' / He saw this sāman. / With it he praised.
