Sāmasūkta (सामसूक्त) refers to the “hymns from the Sāman (Veda)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.39 (“The gods arrive at Kailāsa”).—Accordingly: as the Sages performed the safety rites for Śiva: “[...] By reciting hymns from Ṛk, Yajus, and Sāman (sāmasūkta) they performed the holy rites. All the sages were greatly pleased. In order to ward off obstacles they performed the adoration of the planets under my instruction. They worshipped the gods stationed in the altar. After performing the social and Vedic rites in a fitting manner Śiva became pleased and bowed to the Brahmins joyously. [...]”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
