1. In the worlds one should reverence a fivefold Sāman (Chant). The earth is a Hiṅkāra (Preliminary Vocalizing). Fire is a Prastāva (Introductory Praise). The atmosphere is an Udgītha (Loud Chant). The sun is a Pratihāra (Response). The sky is a Nidhana (Conclusion). —Thus in their ascending order.
