सर्वास्वप्सु पञ्चविधसामोपासीत मेघोयत्सप्लवते स हिंकारो यद्वर्षति स प्रस्तावो याः प्राच्य स्यन्दन्ते स उद्गीथो याःप्रतीच्य स प्रतिहारः समुद्रो निधनम् ॥
In plain words
In all waters should one meditate upon the fivefold sāman: when the cloud gathers above, that is the hiṃkāra; when it pours down rain, that is the prastāva; the waters that flow to the east are the udgītha; those that flow to the west are the pratihāra; and the ocean is the concluding nidhanam.
