The shruti holds that all animals have their own R^itvik's who praise indra; the chief R^iShi of the dolphins's said to have merely splashed
water with his tail said that was enough for indra. But the mighty god caused a surge&stranded him on the beach;Facing death he sang a sAman
to indra who washed him back into ocean; On 7th evening of complex soma rite the ritualist hence sings a sAman mimicking a dolphin's song
which said to have been seen originally by the R^iShi of the dolphins while seeking indra to save him @rkedar1
