Description
The most notable feature of this edition is that it contains the original mantras in ‘Devanagari Script' and complete index of the Sama verses for the ready reference of the scholars and readers.
The Present edition of English Translation of ‘Sama-Samhita’ by ‘Griffith’ has become conspicuous with the following salient features.
• Its old English usage has been supplanted with the corresponding usage of modern English and
some ‘Vedic’ terms have been retained in their true form.
• The method of transliteration of Sanskrit phonemes into Roman adopted by ‘Griffith’ has
fallen in disuse these days. Hence, it has been deemed proper to apply modern and revised
method of transliteration in the present edition.
The most notable feature of this edition is that it contains the original mantras in ‘Devanagari Script' and complete index of the Sama verses for the ready reference of the scholars and readers.
Griffith’s translation is not available on the mantras of ‘Aranyakakanda’ and ‘Mahanamnyarcika’ consisting of ‘mantras’ from Sr. No. 586 to 650. Also mantra No. 679 has not been translated by Griffith. Keeping in view the dearth of translation, the author of present lines has rendered his own scientific translation dealing with astronomical (adhidaivata) aspect. The readers will now find a full fledged ‘Samaveda’ of ‘Ramayana’ recension comprising of 1875 mantras
