Sukta 54

अध्यापकविघ्नशमनम्। ऋचं॒ साम॑ यजामहे॒ याभ्यां॒ कर्मा॑णि कु॒र्वते॑ । ए॒ते सद॑सि राजतो य॒ज्ञं दे॒वेषु॑ यच्छतः

adhyāpaka-vighna-śamanam | ṛ́caṃ sā́ma yajāmahe yā́bhyāṃ kármāṇi kurváte | eté sádasi rājato yajñáṃ devéṣu yacchataḥ ||

We worship the Ṛc and the Sāman, by which twain men perform their rites. These two shine in the session; they guide the sacrifice unto the Gods.

हम ऋच और साम दोनों की पूजा करते हैं। इन दोनों से ही लोग अपने करम करते हैं। यह दोनों सबके सामने चमकते हैं। यह यज्ञ को भगवान तक पहुंचाते हैं।
