		the Saṃhitā of the Sāma-veda consists of two parts
		the first, called Ārcika [or Pūrvārcika or Chando-grantha], contains 585 verses disjoined from their proper sequence in the Ṛg-veda and arranged in 59 Daśatis or decades, which again are subdivided into Prapāṭhakas and Ardha-prapāṭhakas

		the directions for the formation of Sāmans or chants out of these verses are carefully laid down in the Gānas or manuals for chanting, two of which, viz. the Geya-gāna and Āraṇya-gāna, are a directory for the Ārcika portion, and two, viz. Ūha-gāna and Ūhya-gāna, for the Uttarārcikā
