সেখানে ত্রয়ীময় আদ্য শাস্ত্র আছে, যা সকল পুরুষার্থের দর্শন করায়। ঋগ্, যজুঃ ও সাম—এই রূপ ধারণ করায় তা ‘ত্রয়ী’ নামে কীর্তিত। কার্যসিদ্ধির কারণে তা চতুর্বিধও বলা হয়—ঋক্, যজুঁষি, সামানি এবং অথর্বাঙ্গিরস। চাতুর্হোত্র প্রধান হওয়ায় লিঙ্গাদি ত্রিতয়কেও ‘ত্রয়ী’ বলা হয়। অথর্বাঙ্গিরসের রূপ সাম-ঋগ্-যজুঃ-আত্মক॥২১-২৩॥
There, the primordial scripture, consisting of the ‘threefold (Veda),’ is the revealer of all aims. Because it has the form of Ṛg, Yajus, and Sāman, it is proclaimed as ‘the threefold (trayī).’ By the accomplishment of its function it is also proclaimed as fourfold: the Ṛks, the Yajūṃṣis, the Sāmans, and likewise the Atharvāṅgirasa. Because the cāturhotra is primary, the triad beginning with the liṅga is (called) ‘trayī.’ The Atharvāṅgirasa form is of the nature of Sāman, Ṛg, and Yajus.
