Sāmavidhāna (Procedure concerning the Sāma Veda) — Colophon and Closure

本章为正式章末题记:宣告《阿耆尼大往世书》中“娑摩毗陀那”(Sāmavidhāna)部分圆满完成,并明示章名与主题。此种点题显示其如论典(śāstra)般的严整编排——诸仪轨按主题分为彼此界定的单元传授。结语亦为从一套吠陀仪轨体系过渡到另一套作铺垫,表明阿耆尼教导的连续性:先前规范娑曼(Sāman)运用的正当毗陀那(vidhāna)之严谨,将延伸至阿闼婆那(Atharvan,阿闼婆吠陀)传统。在“阿耆尼耶学”(Agneya Vidyā)的整体脉络中,此类题记强调:祭仪之学并非散漫神话材料,而是为成就法(dharma)之效与内在净化而设的结构化修持学科。
