Rigveda
A Vedic poetic meter, named as one of the two meters the bird's voice embodies.
It (the bird) utters both voices as though a sāman-singer — it reigns over the gāyatrī and the triṣṭubh in succession.
Make the oblation to Indra who is moved by the Gāyatrī.
Sāmaveda
A sacred Vedic meter/hymn-form used to praise and invoke Indra.
The singers of the Gāyatrī sing of you;
Today I call you who are born of the Gāyatrī hymn, you who are like a milch-cow yielding abundance — Indra, the divine milch-cow, another one yielding good milk, whose streams are broad and who is well prepared.
