A Brahmanic scripture, one of the four Vedas. It contains melodious hymns, or sāman, sung in rituals, and belongs to the Udgātṛ priests, who are in charge of singing. It is said that the Vedas were once divided into a thousand schools, but three schools of writing remain today. The collection, or Samhita, is divided into the ārcika, which contains only the lyrics of the hymns, and the gāna, which uses special notations to indicate the melody and the length and repetition of syllables that occur when singing.

バラモン教の聖典で,4種のベーダの一つ。祭式において旋律にのせて歌われる賛歌,すなわちサーマンsāmanをおさめたもので,歌詠をつかさどるウドガートリUdgātṛ祭官に所属する。このベーダはかつて一千派に分かれていたと伝えられるが,現在は3派のものが文献として残っている。本集〈サンヒター〉は,賛歌の歌詞のみを収録した〈アールチカārcika〉と,特殊な符号で旋律を示し,かつ歌唱に際しておこる音節の長短,反復などを示した〈ガーナgāna〉とに分かれる。
