O Lord of all that furthers Men’s designs, O Savitri, protect me in this my prayer, in this my act, in this my priestly duty, in this my performance, in this my thought, in this my purpose and desire, in this my calling on the Gods! All Hail!
Atharva Veda V, 24, 1
May Agni, Lord of the forest, protect me in this my prayer, in this my act, in this my priestly duty, in this my performance, in this my thought, in this my purpose and desire, in this my calling on the Gods! All Hail!
Atharva Veda V, 24, 2
The Udgitha chant is the most essential of all essences, the supreme, the highest, being the eighth [in the series].
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad I, 1, 3
Speech is the Rig Veda, breath is the Samaveda, the syllable OM is the Udgitha. Now, these [two] form a union, speech with breath and the Rig Veda with the Samaveda.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad I, 1, 5
Their union consists in OM; it is in this syllable that they are united. Whenever they come together and unite, they fulfill each other’s desire.
Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad I, 1, 6
