Samaveda | सामवेद
Samaveda (Devanagari: सामवेद; ISO 15919: sāmaveda) is one of the four Vedas compiled by Sage Ved Vyas, specifically defining the art of Sama Sangita (melodic chanting). To preserve the precise vibrational potency of its mantras, the text utilizes three distinct tonal accents—Udatta (high), Anudatta (low), and Swarita (middle)—ensuring the original meaning is maintained exactly as passed down through oral tradition.
