Chandogya Upanishad 2.8.1

Next for the sevenfold Sâman. Let a man meditate on the sevenfold Sâman in speech. Whenever there is in speech the syllable hun that is hinkâra, pra is the prastâva, â is the âdi, the first, i. e. Om,

In plain words: Now the teacher describes a chant with seven parts, found in speech itself. Certain sounds in words stand for the parts of the chant. 'Hun' is the first part, 'pra' the second, and 'â' is the 'first' part, which is linked to Om, the most sacred sound.
