52.277

"...they adorn the bright one with their courses: come, O, him, come, O, come, O, indeed!" / "Come!"—thus they called him up in the heavenly world. / Then he united with the fellow sacrificers. / Having praised with this very sāman, he ascended to the heavenly world. / "Those who kindle the fire, who spread the sacrificial grass continuously, / whose youthful ally is Indra..."— / thus he ascended after to the heavenly world. / This sāman leads to heaven. / He attains the heavenly world who knows thus. / Because Idhmavāha saw it, therefore it is called the Aidhmavāha. / Now the Traikakubha, whose Brāhmaṇa is explained, a sāman of three faculties: / the verses are to Indra, the sāman is to Indra, "Indra" is the finale. / Three are the faculties in man: oneself, offspring, cattle; / these he grasps in himself by means of it. / "The singers sing of you, the reciters recite the song, / the Brahmins have held you high like a pole, O you of a hundred resolves!"— / that which has hundred and that which has thousand is the characteristic form of the chandomas; / for cattle are the chandomas.
