Dear list members,

 

What is the technical meaning of sAma from the second

paragraph of TaittirIya-UpaniSad about pronunciation:

 

 

varNaH phoneme

svaraH accent

mAtrA duration

balam emphasis

sAma ???

saMtAnaH transition

 

Translations I've read have it as

modulation, articulation or uniformity.

 

But these are not as specific as the other five terms.

What is specific to sAma that is not contained in other five?

 

Regards, Dmitri.
