With Gayatri he measures out the praise-song, Sama with praise-song, triplet with the Tristup. The triplet with the two or four-foot measure, and with the syllable they form seven metres.

gāyatréṇa práti mimīte arkám arkéṇa sā́ma tráiṣṭubhena vākám | vākéna vākáṃ dvipádā cátuṣpadākṣáreṇa mimate saptá vā́ṇīḥ ||2||

By the ''gāyatrī́''-verse he measures off the song (arká), by the song the chant (''sā́man''), by the ''triṣṭúbh''-vevse the hymn (''vāká''), by the hymn of two feet [or] of four feet the hymn; by the syllable they measure the seven tunes (''vā́ṇi'').

The surface that matched

Both passages fold to the same comparison surface. Accents, word breaks and sandhi are removed before comparison, so this string is not how either text reads.

What a match here does and does not show

These links are derived by comparing normalised Sanskrit surfaces. They show that two collections carry the same wording. They are not, by themselves, a demonstrated line of transmission between them, and the direction stored on an edge is a property of how it was built.

Rigveda is one of four collections held here. Cross-corpus comparison bottoms out at the weakest shared surface, because a Devanagari text and a romanised text share no code points.

How these were derived1

  • Parallelism is symmetric and this graph stores it as a directed edge, so these relations are traversed in both directions and each row states which way the stored edge ran. All 1,684 REUSES_TEXT_FROM edges point Samaveda-to-Rigveda, and 1,421 Rigvedic passages have reuse edges only inbound; following the arrow would show those 1,421 verses no reuse at all.
