Sama Veda II.1.2.19: The Somas skilled in song, the waves have
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. The Somas skilled in song, the waves have led the water forward, like
Buffaloes speeding to the woods.
2. With stream of sacrifice the brown bright drops have flowed with strength in store
Of kine into the wooden vats.
3. To Indra, Vayu. Varuna to Vishnu and the Maruts let
The Soma juices flow expressed.
