अर्थMeaning
He who knows what is the property of this Sâman, obtains property. Now verily its property is tone only. Therefore let a priest, who is going to perform the sacrificial work of a Sama-singer, desire that his voice may have a good tone, and let him perform the sacrifice with a voice that is in good tone. Therefore people (who want a priest) for a sacrifice, look out for one who possesses a good voice, as for one who possesses property. He who thus knows what is the property of that Sâman, obtains property.

व्याख्याVyakhya
जो इस साम के 'स्व' (धन) को जानता है, उसे धन प्राप्त होता है। इसका धन स्वर ही है। इसलिए ऋत्विक्-कर्म करने वाला अपनी वाणी में स्वर की इच्छा करे और स्वर से सम्पन्न वाणी से ऋत्विक्-कर्म करे। इसी कारण यज्ञ में लोग स्वरवान् (उद्गाता) को देखना चाहते हैं, जैसे धनवान् को। जो साम के इस धन को इस प्रकार जानता है, उसे धन प्राप्त होता है।
