Sāmaveda  : m.: Name of one of the four Vedic Saṁhitās.


A. Relationship with Kṛṣṇa Nārāyaṇa: Nārāyaṇa told the sage Mārkaṇḍeya that the Sāmaveda, along with the other three Vedas, arise from him and enter into him (mattaḥ prādurbhavanty ete mām eva praviśanti ca) 3. 187. 14.


B. Importance:

(1) In the Vibhūtiyoga of the Gītā, Bhagavān told Arjuna that he was the Sāmaveda of the (four) Vedas (vedānām sāmavedo 'smi) 6. 32. 22;

(2) Upamanyu, in his praise of Śiva, described Śiva as the Sāmaveda of the (four) Vedas (sāmavedaś ca vedānām) 13. 14. 159;

(3) The dharma of the ekāntins (12. 336. 7, 57), expounded by Nārada for the benefit of Yudhiṣṭhira, was equal to the Sāmaveda and was preserved by god Nārāyaṇa himself (gahano hy eṣa dharmo vai…saṁmitaḥ sāmavedena/dhāryate svayam īśena rājan nārāyaṇena ha//) (12. 336. 9-10); this dharma was learnt and taught by Brahman to the Barhiṣad sages from whom it went to a dvija called Jyeṣṭha who was versed in the Sāmaveda (aṛhīto brahmaṇā rājan…adhyāpitāś ca munayo nāmnā barhiṣado nṛpa//barhiṣadbhyaś ca saṁkrāntaḥ sāmavedāntagaṁ dvijam/jyeṣṭhaṁ nāmnābhivikhyātam…) 12. 336. 41-42.


C. Personified:

(1) Sāmaveda, along with the Ṛgveda and the Purāṇas, moved in front of the chariot of Śiva when he got ready to destroy the Tripuras 8. 24. 80;

(2) Sāmaveda, along with the other three Vedas, visit the Sabhā of Brahmadeva 2. 11. 23.


D. Limitations: Dhṛtarāṣṭra asked Sanatsujāta whether one who committed sin was absolved of it if he studied the Sāmaveda (and the ṛcs and yajuses) 5. 43. 1 (the reply was in the negative 5. 43. 2). [See Sāman ]
