इयमेवर्गग्निः साम तदेतदेतस्यामृच्यध्यूढꣳ साम तस्मादृच्यध्यूढꣳ साम गीयत इयमेव साग्निरमस्तत्साम ॥ १.६.१ ॥
This (earth) is indeed the ṛc, and fire is the sāman. That sāman is raised up upon this ṛc; therefore the sāman raised upon the ṛc is sung. This is indeed fire, and amā is that sāman.

अन्तरिक्षमेवर्ग्वायुः साम तदेतदेतस्यामृच्यध्यूढꣳ साम तस्मादृच्यध्यूढꣳ साम गीयतेऽन्तरिक्षमेव सा वायुरमस्तत्साम ॥ १.६.२ ॥
The atmosphere is indeed the ṛc, and wind is the sāman. That sāman is raised up upon this ṛc; therefore the sāman raised upon the ṛc is sung. The atmosphere is indeed that, and wind is that amā, that sāman.

नक्षत्राण्येवर्क्चन्द्रमाः साम तदेतदेतस्यामृच्यध्यूढꣳ साम तस्मादृच्यध्यूढꣳ साम गीयते नक्षत्राण्येव सा चन्द्रमा अमस्तत्साम ॥ १.६.४ ॥
The stars themselves are the ṛc, and the moon is the sāman. This sāman is set upon this ṛc; therefore the sāman set upon the ṛc is sung. The stars themselves are that ṛc, and that moon is the 'ama'; that is the sāman.
Chāndogya 1.6.5
अथ यदेतदादित्यस्य शुक्लं भाः सैवर्गथ यन्नीलं परः कृष्णं तत्साम तदेतदेतस्यामृच्यध्यूढꣳ साम तस्मादृच्यध्यूढꣳ साम गीयते ॥ १.६.५ ॥
Now, the white radiance of the sun is the bhā. And what is dark blue, and beyond it black, that is the sāman. This sāman is set upon this ṛc; therefore the sāman set upon the ṛc is sung.
Chāndogya 1.6.6
अथ यदेवैतदादित्यस्य शुक्लं भाः सैव साथ यन्नीलं परः कृष्णं तदमस्तत्सामाथ य एषोऽन्तरादित्ये हिरण्मयः पुरुषो दृश्यते हिरण्यश्मश्रुर्हिरण्यकेश आप्रणखात्सर्व एव सुवर्णः ॥ १.६.६ ॥
Now, the white radiance of the sun is the sā. And what is dark blue, and beyond it black, is the amaḥ, and that is the sāman. Now the golden person seen within the sun, with golden beard and golden hair, wholly golden even to the tips of the nails.
Chāndogya 1.6.7
तस्य यथा कप्यासं पुण्डरीकमेवमक्षिणी तस्योदिति नाम स एष सर्वेभ्यः पाप्मभ्य उदित उदेति ह वै सर्वेभ्यः पाप्मभ्यो य एवं वेद ॥ १.६.७ ॥
His eyes are like the seat of a monkey and like a lotus. His name is 'Udita' (risen up), because he rises up above all evils. Whoever knows this rises up above all evils.
Chāndogya 1.6.8
तस्यर्क्च साम च गेष्णौ तस्मादुद्गीथस्तस्मात्त्वेवोद्गातैतस्य हि गाता स एष ये चामुष्मात्पराञ्चो लोकास्तेषां चेष्टे देवकामानां चेत्यधिदैवतम् ॥ १.६.८ ॥
His verse (ṛc) and chant (sāman) are his two supports. Therefore he is the udgītha, and therefore he is the udgātṛ, for he is its singer. He is also the one who governs those far-off worlds meant for those who desire the gods — this is the adhidaivata (the divine dimension).
