1.8.5

apāṃ kā gatir iti \
asau loka iti hovāca \
amuṣya lokasya kā gatir iti \
na svargaṃ lokam (S ) iti hovāca \
svargaṃ vayaṃ lokaṃ sāmābhisaṃsthāpayāmaḥ \
svargasaṃstāvaṃ hi sāmeti \\108.5\

‘What is the essence of water?’ ‘That (heavenly) world’, said (Dālbhya). ‘What is the essence of that world?’ ‘One cannot carry (the Sāman) beyond the heavenly world,’ said Dālbhya; ‘we locate the Sāman in the world of heaven, for Sāman is praised as heaven.’
