13.3.3.5
pārthuraśmam brahmasāma bhavati raśminā vā aśvo yata īśvaro vā aśvo'yato'dhṛto pratiṣṭhitaḥ parām parāvataṃ gantoryatpārthuraśmam brahmasāma bhavatyaśvasyaiva dhṛtyai
The Pârthurasma is the Brahma-sâman; for the horse is restrained by means of reins (rasmi), but when unrestrained, unchecked, and unsteadied, it would be liable to go to the furthest distance: thus when the Pârthurasma is the Brahma-sâman, it is for the safe keeping of the horse.
