Chandogya Upanishad 2.17.1

The hinkâra is the earth, the prastâva the sky, the udgîtha heaven, the pratihâra the regions, the nidhana the sea. These are the Sakvari Sâmans, as interwoven in the worlds.

In plain words: The five parts of the chant are matched to the world: the earth, the sky, heaven, the directions, and the sea. These are the Sakvari chants found in the worlds.
