ထိုနေရာ၌ ‘သုံးပါးတည်း’ (trayī) ဟူသော မူလရှာස්တရသည် အဓိပ္ပါယ်နှင့် ရည်ရွယ်ချက်အားလုံးကို ထင်ရှားစေသော သမ္မာကျမ်းဖြစ်သည်။ ၎င်းသည် Ṛg၊ Yajus၊ Sāman တို့၏ ပုံသဏ္ဍာန်ဖြစ်သောကြောင့် trayī ဟု ခေါ်ကြသည်။ သို့ရာတွင် ယဇ္ဉာကိစ္စများ ပြည့်စုံစေရန်အတွက် လေးမျိုးဟူ၍လည်း ဆိုကြသည်—Ṛc ပုဒ်များ၊ Yajus မန္တရများ၊ Sāman သီချင်းများနှင့် Atharvaṅgiras တို့ဖြစ်သည်။ ယဇ္ဉာတွင် ပုရောဟိတ် လေးမျိုး၏ တာဝန်များက အဓိကဖြစ်သဖြင့် အမှတ်အသားသုံးပါး စသည့် လက္ခဏာများမှ trayī ကို ခန့်မှန်းသိနိုင်ပြီး Atharvaṅgiras ပုံစံသည်လည်း Sāman၊ Ṛg၊ Yajus တို့၏ သဘာဝတူညီမှုကို ဆောင်ထားသည်။
There, the primordial scripture consisting of the ‘threefold’ (trayī) is that which reveals all aims and meanings. Because it has the form of Ṛg, Yajus, and Sāman it is called ‘trayī’. Yet, for the accomplishment of ritual purposes it is also spoken of as fourfold: the Ṛc-verses, the Yajus-formulas, the Sāman-chants, and likewise the Atharvaṅgiras. Since the four priestly functions are primary, the threefold (trayī) is inferred by the triad of indicators and the like; and the Atharvaṅgiras form is of the nature of Sāman, Ṛg, and Yajus.
