सामन् • (sā́man) stem, n

1. any song or tune (sacred or profane, also the hum of bees)
   • c. 1700 BCE – 1200 BCE, Ṛgveda 2.43.2:

     उद्गातेव शकुने साम गायसि ब्रह्मपुत्र इव सवनेषु शंससि ।
     वृषेव वाजी शिशुमतीरपीत्या सर्वतो नः शकुने भद्रमा वद विश्वतो नः शकुने पुण्यमा वद ॥

     udgāteva śakune sāma gāyasi brahmaputra iva savaneṣu śaṃsasi.
     vṛṣeva vājī śiśumatīrapītyā sarvato naḥ śakune bhadramā vada viśvato naḥ śakune puṇyamā vada.

     Thou like the chanter-priest chantest the holy song, O Bird; thou singest at libations like a Brahman's son.
     Even as a vigorous horse when he comes near the mare, announce to us good fortune, Bird, on every side, proclaim in all directions happy luck, O Bird.
