2.21.1

trayī vidyā (S )kāraḥ \
traya ime lokāḥ sa prastāvaḥ \
agnir vāyur ādityaḥ sa udgīthaḥ \
nakṣatrāṇi vayāṃsi marīcayaḥ sa pratihāraḥ \
sarpā gandharvāḥ pitaras tan nidhanam \
etat sāma sarvasmin protam \\221.1\

The three Vedas are Hiṃkāra; the three worlds are Prastāva; Fire, Air and the Sun are Udgītha; the stars, the birds and the rays are Pratihāra; the serpents, the celestial singers and the fathers are Nidhana. This is the collection of Sāmans woven in all things.
