2.1.1

samastasya khalu sāmna upāsanaṃ sādhu \
yat khalu sādhu tat sāmety ācakṣate \
yad asādhu tad asāmeti \\201.1\

1. Om! Assuredly, the reverence of the Sāman entire (samasta) is good (sādhu). Assuredly, anything that is good, people call sāman (abundance); anything that is not good, a-sāman (deficiency).

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

2.1.2

tad utāpy āhuḥ \
sāmnainam upāgād iti sādhunainam upāgād ity eva tad āhuḥ \
asāmnainam upāgād (S ) \\201.2\

2. So also people say: 'He approached him with sāman (kindliness)'; that is, they say: 'He approached him with good manner (sādhu).'—'He approached him with no sāman'; that is, they say: 'He approached him with no good manner.'

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

2.1.3

athotāpy āhuḥ \
sāma no bateti yat sādhu bhavati sādhu batety eva tad āhuḥ \
asāma no bateti yad asādhu bhavaty asādhu batety eva tad āhuḥ \\201.3\

3. So also, further, people say: 'Oh! we have sāman (goods)!' if it is something good (sādhu); that is, they say: 'Oh! good!'—'Oh! we have no sāman!' if it is not good; that is, they say: 'Oh! no good!'

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads

2.1.4

sa ya etad evaṃ vidvān sādhu sāmety upāste 'bhyāśo ha yad enaṃ sādhavo dharmā ā ca gaccheyur upa ca nameyuḥ \\201.4\

4. He who, knowing this, reverences the Sāman as good—truly the prospect is that good qualities will come unto him and attend him.

Robert Ernest Hume 1921, The Thirteen Principal Upanishads
