 सामवेद॑ m.
  the Sāmaveda (cf.   2 सा॑मन्).

Monier Williams Cologne

English

 साम—वेद॑ m.
  ‘Veda of chants’,  N.
  of one of the three principal Vedas (See वेद)

 it contains a number of verses or stanzas nearly all of which [except about 78] occur in the Ṛg-veda and which,  modified in various ways,  are chanted,  mostly,  by the Udgātṛ priests at Soma sacrifices

 the Saṃhitā of the Sāma-veda consists of two parts

 the first,  called Ārcika [or Pūrvārcika or Chando-grantha],  contains 585 verses disjoined from their proper sequence in the Ṛg-veda and arranged in 59 Daśatis or decades,  which again are subdivided into Prapāṭhakas and Ardha-prapāṭhakas

 the second,  called Uttarārcika or Uttarā-grantha,  contains 1225 verses,  also chiefly from the Ṛk-saṃhitā,  but less disjointed than in the first part,  and arranged in nine Prapāṭhakas with Ardha-prapāṭhakas,  mostly,  however,  grouped in triplets

 the directions for the formation of Sāmans or chants out of these verses are carefully laid down in the Gānas or manuals for chanting,  two of which,  viz. the Geya-gāna and Āraṇya-gāna,  are a directory for the Ārcika portion,  and two,  viz. Ūha-gāna and Ūhya-gāna,  for the Uttarārcikā

 in Mn.
   i,  23 the Sāma-veda is described as drawn forth from the sun

 in iv,  124 it is described as having a special reference to the Pitṛs or deceased ancestors,  and its sound is therefore said to possess a kind of impurity,  whereas the Ṛg-veda has the gods for his objects and the Yajurveda men

 the Sāma-veda is said to possess 8 Brāhmaṇas [see ब्राह्मण] Br.

Vedic Reference

English

 Sāma-veda,  ‘the Veda of the Sāman chants, ’ is the name of

the Brāhmaṇas.^1 The Sāman itself is repeatedly referred
to in the Rigveda, ^2 and the triad Ṛc,  Yajus,  and Sāman
is common from the Atharvaveda onwards.^3 These texts
know also the Sāma-ga,  the ‘Sāman-chanter, ’^4 who occurs
later.^5
