CHANDOGYA UPANISHAD NOUN

ChandogyaUpa1 4 For him, speech yields the milk, which is the benefit of speech; and he becomes richin food and an eater of food, who thus knows this sacred doctrine of the Samans yea, knows the sacred doctrine of the Samans.
ChandogyaUpa2 1 The Three Vedas are Himkara; the Three worlds are Prastava; Agni, Vayu and the Sun are Udgitha; the Stars, the birds and the rays are Pratihara; the serpents, the celestial singers and the fathers are Nidhana. This is the collection of Samans woven in all things.

Thus verily, through the essence of the Samans, through the virility of the Saman, he makes good the injury of the sacrifice in respect of the Samans.
ChandogyaUpa6 2 Svetaketu did not eat for fifteen days. Then he approached him saying, What shall I say The father said, The Riks, the Yajus, and the Samans, dear boy. They do not at all arise in me, sir
