Sama Veda II.2.1.4: O Soma, thou art strong and bright, potent
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. O Soma, thou art strong and bright, potent, O God, with potent sway,
2. Steer-strong thy might is like a steer's, steer-strong the wood, steer-strong the juice:
A steer indeed, O Steer, art thou.
3. Thou, Indu, as a vigorous horse, hast neighed together steeds and kine:
Unbar for us the doors to wealth!
