(On the Way of Repeating the Ṣoḷaśī Sastra. On the Application of the Gaurivîti or Nānada Sāman.)
He who desires beauty and the acquirement of sacred knowledge ought to use the Gaurivītam[3] as (the proper) Sāman at the Ṣoḷaśī (ceremony). For the Gaurivītam is beauty and acquirement of sacred knowledge.
Haug - Notes
[3]This is Indra juṣasva pra vahâ (Sâm. Saṁh. 2, 302-304). These verses are not to be found in the Ṛigveda Saṁhitâ, but in Āsv. Śr. S. 6, 2.

They say, the Nānadam[4] ought to be used as (the proper) Sāman at the Ṣoḷaśī (ceremony).

He, after having been struck down, made a fearful noise (vyanadat). Thence the Nānada Sāman took its origin, and therefore it is called so (from nad to scream).

If they use the Nānadam (Sāman), the several padas of verses in two metres at the Ṣoḷaśī Śāstra are not to be taken out of their natural connection to join one pada of the one metre to one of the other[5] (avihṛita). For the Sāma singers do the same, using verses which are not joined in the vihṛita way for singing the Nānada Sāman.
Haug - Notes
[5]All the words from “the several padas” to “other” are only a translation of the term avihṛita, in order to make it better understood.

Haug
If they use the Gaurivītam, several padas of verses in two metres used at the Ṣoḷaśī are to be taken out of their natural connection, to join one pada of the one metre to one of the other (vihṛita). For the Sāma singers do the same with the verses which they use for singing.[6]
Haug - Notes
[6]The reason of this is, that the recitations of the Hotṛi-priest must correspond with the performances of the Sâma singers.
