The 峁歡veda is sacred to the gods and the Yajurveda is human; the S膩maveda has been declared to be related to the 笔颈迟峁泂; hence its sound is impure.鈥�(124)

 

Medh膩tithi鈥檚 commentary (尘补苍耻产丑腻峁�y补):

It, has been declared that when S膩ma-Veda is being chanted, the time is unfit for the reciting of the 峁歡veda and the Yajurveda. Supplementary to this, we have the present statement.

鈥�Sacred to the pods;鈥欌赌�i.e., that of which the gods are the presiding genius; that is, which consists entirley of hymns to the gods. As a matter of fact, hymns form the principal part of the 峁歡veda; it is for this reason that it is called 鈥�sacred to the gods.鈥�

As a matter of fact, action forms the predominating element in Men; and, since the Yajurveda is made up principally of injunctions regarding Action, the Yajurveda is, on account of this analogy, said to be 鈥�human.鈥� The term 鈥�尘腻苍耻峁�a鈥� denotes the genus 鈥榤an;鈥� and, by a process of identification, the Yajurveda has been called 鈥�human.鈥�

鈥�Related to the 笔颈迟峁泂鈥欌�攎ay be taken to mean鈥攅ither 鈥榖eneficial to the 笔颈迟峁泂,鈥� or 鈥榦f which the 笔颈迟峁泂 are the presiding genius;鈥� by some sort of relationship, the S膩ma-Veda has been called 鈥榬elated to the 笔颈迟峁泂.鈥�

There are three regions, and of these there, are three presiding beings; the gods of Heaven, the Men of the Earth and the 笔颈迟峁泂 of the sky. Similarly, there are three Vedas; and, since two of these have been spoken of as related to 鈥榞ods鈥� and 鈥榤en,鈥� respectively, the third, S膩ma Veda, is, by a process of elimination, declared to be 鈥�related to the 笔颈迟峁泂.鈥�

鈥�Its sound is impure鈥�.鈥擳he sound of the S膩maveda should not he understood, by this, to be really impure; all that is meant is that, just as Veda should not be recited in the presence of an impure substance, so should it not he recited in the presence of the S膩ma-chant; it is on the ground of this similarity to 鈥榠mpure substances鈥� that the sound of S膩ma has been said to be 鈥榠mpure.鈥�

From the context it is clear that this prohibition during S膩ma-chant, pertains to the reciting of the 峁歡veda and the Yajurveda in course of the regular 鈥榁edic study鈥� that, has been prescribed; and not to the reciting of Mantra-texts that is done in the course of scrifical performances.鈥�(124)
