2.15.1
abhrāṇi saṃplavante sa (S )kāraḥ \
megho jāyate sa prastāvaḥ \
varṣati sa udgīthaḥ \
vidyotate stanayati sa pratihāraḥ \
udgṛhṇāti tan nidhanam \
etad vairūpaṃ parjanye protam \\215.1\
1. Mists come together—that is a Hiṅkāra. A cloud is formed—that is a Prastāva. It rains—that is an Udgītha. It lightens and thunders—that is a Pratihāra. It holds up—that is a Nidhana. This is the Vairūpa Sāman as woven upon rain (pārjanya).
2.15.2
sa ya evam etad vairūpaṃ parjanye protaṃ veda \
virūpāṃś ca surūpaṃś ca paśūn (S ) \
sarvam āyur eti \
jyog jīvati \
mahān prajayā paśubhir bhavati \
mahān kīrtyā \
varṣantaṃ na nindet \
tad vratam \\215.2\
2. He who knows thus this Vairūpa Sāman as woven upon rain acquires cattle both of various form (vi-rūpa) and of beautiful form (su-rūpa), reaches a full length of life, lives long, becomes great in children and in cattle, great in fame. One should not find fault with it when it rains. That is his rule.
