Ukthya also means a general kind of Śāstra (Sastra or Scriptures) reading and it is read as the Sāma (Sama) song (One kind of Vedic Song). It was said in the Jaiminīya  Brāhmaṇna (Brahmana) that in the Udvaṁśīya śāstra (Udvansiya sastra) reading, ukthya stotra (hymn) was read or sung thrice as ‘udvaṁśaṃ iva yemire’ . In this context of reading and singing, vṛhadukthya (vrihadukthya), mahadukthya words are known as Mahāvrata-Sāma (Mahavrata Sama). Upamanyu used the word Ukthya during Aśvinastuti (Aswinastuti) in Mahābhārata (Mahabharata).
