नक्षत्र ही ऋक् हैं और चन्द्रमा साम है। नक्षत्र 'सा' हैं, चन्द्रमा 'अम' है — यही साम है।
अक्षरशः अनुवाद — मूल संस्कृत श्लोक के प्रत्येक पद का प्रत्यक्ष अर्थ।
Rik is the stars, Sâman the moon. This Sâman (moon) rests on that Rik (stars). Therefore the Sâman is sung as resting on the Rik. Sâ is the stars, ama the moon, and that makes Sâma.
