Sāmaveda
The Sāmaveda is the Veda of melodies. Most of its verses come from the Ṛgveda and are set to the sāman chants that the udgātṛ priest sings at the soma sacrifice; the tradition holds that Vyāsa gave this Veda to his pupil Jaimini. The text here is the Kauthuma recension, with 1,875 verses in the pūrvārcika, the āraṇyaka and mahānāmnī sections, and the uttarārcika. The verses are grouped in daśatis, sets of about ten. This site holds the verse text in IAST and Devanagari with a meter scan; it does not hold the melodies. by hand

Source and method
Source data: units.sqlite3, work samaveda (469 fragmentary prose lines; the verses come from the markers in the text). Kauthuma recension, GRETIL input by Anshuman Pandey. Devanagari: tlit.iast2dev. Meter: the pipeline scanner at build time, because this work has no verse units. Refs: ārcika.prapāṭhaka.ardha.daśati.verse; the āraṇyaka and mahānāmnī ārcikas have 0 for prapāṭhaka and ardha. The verse markers of 1.1.1.1.2 and 4.1.1.6.3 are duplicated in the source and were repaired. Meter rows: 0 of 1,878 śloka from units.sqlite3, the rest scanned at build time with pipeline/units/meters.py; 367 scan as an exact meter.
One row per daśati. A daśati page shows the text in Devanagari and IAST, one block per śloka, with the meter scan on the ID line data. Paths: /texts/samaveda-1.1.1.1; a śloka suffix such as /texts/samaveda-1.1.1.1.1 opens the same page at that śloka.
Word-level data data: form, lemma, root, grammar and compound split for 1,333 of 1,878 śloka from the Digital Corpus of Sanskrit (DCS, Oliver Hellwig, CC BY 4.0; text Ṛgveda / Maitrāyaṇīsaṃhitā / Vājasaneyisaṃhitā (Mādhyandina) / Atharvaveda (Śaunaka); CoNLL-U dump, aligned by text in build/data/dcs_align.json). The DCS line under each śloka is its own reading, which can differ from the text above. No translation and no chant for this book; those exist for the Ṛgveda only.
