24.7.17

tad yat svarāṇi pṛṣṭhāni bhavanti /

chanters use the Bṛhat and the Rathantara in the Pavamānas, but, if the Pṛṣṭhas are the Bṛhat and the Rathantara, then the Sāman chanters use the Svaras in the Pavamānas. ‘But the Pṛṣṭhas should be the Svaras only,’ Kauṣītaki used to say; ‘for they are the Svarasāmans; by the Pṛṣṭhas the gods have touched the world of heaven; the Pṛṣṭhas are the Svaras, for the touching of the world of heaven.’
