Chāndogya 1.8.1
त्रयो होद्गीथे कुशला बभूवुः शिलकः शालावत्यश्चैकितायनो दाल्भ्यः प्रवाहणो जैवलिरिति ते होचुरुद्गीथे वै कुशलाः स्मो हन्तोद्गीथे कथां वदाम इति ॥ १.८.१ ॥
Three were skilled in the udgītha: Śilaka Śālāvatya, Aikitāyana Dālbhya, and Pravāhaṇa Jaivali. They said, "We are skilled in the udgītha; come, let us discuss the udgītha."
Chāndogya 1.8.2
तथेति ह समुपविविशुः स ह प्रवाहणो जैवलिरुवाच भगवन्तावग्रे वदतां ब्राह्मणयोर्वदतोर्वाचꣳ श्रोष्यामीति ॥ १.८.२ ॥
"So be it." The two of them sat down together. Pravāhaṇa, son of Jaivali, said: "Venerable sirs, let the two brahmins speak first; I will listen to your speech."
Chāndogya 1.8.3
स ह शिलकः शालावत्यश्चैकितायनं दाल्भ्यमुवाच हन्त त्वा पृच्छानीति पृच्छेति होवाच ॥ १.८.३ ॥
Śilaka, son of Śālāvata, said to Aikitāyana Dālbhya: "Come, I will ask you a question." Dālbhya said: "Ask."
Chāndogya 1.8.4
का साम्नो गतिरिति स्वर इति होवाच स्वरस्य का गतिरिति प्राण इति होवाच प्राणस्य का गतिरित्यन्नमिति होवाचान्नस्य का गतिरित्याप इति होवाच ॥ १.८.४ ॥
"What is the basis of the sāman?" He said: "The tone." "What is the basis of the tone?" He said: "Breath (prāṇa)." "What is the basis of breath?" He said: "Food." "What is the basis of food?" He said: "Water."
Chāndogya 1.8.5
अपां का गतिरित्यसौ लोक इति होवाचामुष्य लोकस्य का गतिरिति न स्वर्गं लोकमति नयेदिति होवाच स्वर्गं वयं लोकꣳ सामाभिसंस्थापयामः स्वर्गसꣳस्तावꣳ हि सामेति ॥ १.८.५ ॥
"What is the basis of the waters?" He said: "That world." "What is the basis of that world?" He said: "It should not lead beyond the heavenly world." "We establish the heavenly world by means of the sāman, for the sāman is a praise that leads to heaven."
Chāndogya 1.8.6
तꣳ ह शिलकः शालावत्यश्चैकितायनं दाल्भ्यमुवाचाप्रतिष्ठितं वै किल ते दाल्भ्य साम यस्त्वेतर्हि ब्रूयान्मूर्धा ते विपतिष्यतीति मूर्धा ते विपतेदिति ॥ १.८.६ ॥
Śilaka Śālāvatya said to Aikitāyana Dālbhya: "Dālbhya, your sāman is indeed without support. If someone now were to say 'your head will fall off', your head would fall off."
Chāndogya 1.8.7
हन्ताहमेतद्भगवतो वेदानीति विद्धीति होवाचामुष्य लोकस्य का गतिरित्ययं लोक इति होवाचास्य लोकस्य का गतिरिति न प्रतिष्ठां लोकमिति नयेदिति होवाच प्रतिष्ठां वयं लोकꣳ सामाभिसꣳस्थापयामः प्रतिष्ठासꣳ स्तावꣳ हि सामेति ॥ १.८.७ ॥
Dālbhya said: "Very well, know that I will learn this from the venerable one." He asked: "What is the course of this world?" The answer: "This world." He asked again: "What is the course of this world?" The answer: "It is not a support." Let it not be so. For support we establish the world with the sāman, for the sāman is indeed support, praise.
Chāndogya 1.8.8
तꣳ ह प्रवाहणो जैवलिरुवाचान्तवद्वै किल ते शालावत्य साम यस्त्वेतर्हि ब्रूयान्मूर्धा ते विपतिष्यतीति मूर्धा ते विपतेदिति हन्ताहमेतद्भगवतो वेदानीति विद्धीति होवाच ॥ १.८.८ ॥
Pravāhaṇa Jaivali said to him: "Śālāvatya, your sāman is indeed finite. If someone now were to say 'your head will fall off', your head would fall off. Very well, know that I will learn this from the venerable one." So he spoke.
