RIG VEDA · 1.164.24
गायत्रेण प्रति मिमीते अर्कमर्केण साम त्रैष्टुभेन वाकम् ।
By the gāyatrī they measure the hymn, by the hymn the sāman chant, by the triṣṭubh the verse.
IT · Con il gāyatrī si misura l'inno, con l'inno il canto sāman, con il triṣṭubh il verso.
FR · Par le gāyatrī on mesure l'hymne, par l'hymne le chant sāman, par le triṣṭubh le vers.
PĀLI CANON · ANGUTTARA NIKĀYA 6.55, SOṆA SUTTA
Yadā pana te, soṇa, vīṇāya tantiyo na accāyatā honti nātisithilā same guṇe patiṭṭhitā … evamevaṃ kho, soṇa, accāraddhavīriyaṃ uddhaccāya saṃvattati, atisithilavīriyaṃ kosajjāya saṃvattati.
When the strings of the lute are neither too tight nor too slack, but fixed at an even tension … so too, energy that is too forceful leads to restlessness, and energy that is too slack leads to laziness.
IT · Quando le corde del liuto non sono né troppo tese né troppo molli, ma fissate a una tensione uniforme … così anche lo sforzo troppo vigoroso porta all'agitazione, e lo sforzo troppo fiacco alla pigrizia.
FR · Quand les cordes du luth ne sont ni trop tendues ni trop lâches, mais fixées à une tension égale … de même, un effort trop véhément mène à l'agitation, et un effort trop relâché à la paresse.
