Samaveda Samhita
Kauthuma recension, ārcika
The Rigveda arranged for singing: the ārcika verse collection in the Kauthuma recension, carrying the svara marks that record how it was pitched.

This is one recension of one Samhita. What this edition covers and excludes, and how each kind of coverage is typed, is set out on the scope page.
The gāna song-books, in which these verses are actually sung, are not included: what is held is the ārcika verse collection. Where a verse carries svara marks they are reproduced from the printed witness, and nothing here shows, notates or infers melody.

Recitation audio
No recitation is catalogued for this collection. None has been found in a form that could be mapped to these verses and played here.
No per-verse recitation is catalogued for the Samaveda. The source that supplies the other three Vedas publishes Samavedic verse text but no Sanskrit audio for it, and no other source located offers Kauthuma arcika audio mapped to individual verses. This is an absence in what exists publicly, not a statement about the tradition -- and it is the Veda for which recitation matters most.
