1) Sāmaveda (सामवेद):—[=sāma-veda] [from sāma > sāman] m. ‘Veda of chants’, Name of one of the three principal Vedas (See veda)

2) [v.s. ...] it contains a number of verses or stanzas nearly all of which [except about 78] occur in the Ṛg-veda and which, modified in various ways, are chanted, mostly, by the Udgātṛ priests at Soma sacrifices

3) [v.s. ...] the Saṃhitā of the Sāma-veda consists of two parts

4) [v.s. ...] the first, called Ārcika [or Pūrvārcika or Chando-grantha], contains 585 verses disjoined from their proper sequence in the Ṛg-veda and arranged in 59 Daśatis or decades, which again are subdivided into Prapāṭhakas and Ardha-prapāṭhakas

5) [v.s. ...] the second, called Uttarārcika or Uttarā-grantha, contains 1225 verses, also chiefly from the Ṛk-saṃhitā, but less disjointed than in the first part, and arranged in nine Prapāṭhakas with Ardha-prapāṭhakas, mostly, however, grouped in triplets

6) [v.s. ...] the directions for the formation of Sāmans or chants out of these verses are carefully laid down in the Gānas or manuals for chanting, two of which, viz. the Geya-gāna and Āraṇya-gāna, are a directory for the Ārcika portion, and two, viz. Ūha-gāna and Ūhya-gāna, for the Uttarārcikā

7) [v.s. ...] in [Manu-smṛti i, 23] the Sāma-veda is described as drawn forth from the sun

8) [v.s. ...] in iv, 124 it is described as having a special reference to the Pitṛs or deceased ancestors, and its sound is therefore said to possess a kind of impurity, whereas the Ṛg-veda has the gods for his objects and the Yajurveda men

9) [v.s. ...] the Sāma-veda is said to possess 8 Brāhmaṇas [see brāhmaṇa] [Brāhmaṇa; Śāṅkhāyana-śrauta-sūtra] etc. ([Indian Wisdom, by Sir M. Monier-Williams 25])
