Sama Veda II.2.1.5: For thou art strong by splendour: we, O
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. For thou art strong by splendour: we, O Pavamana call on thee,
The brilliant looker on the light.
2. When thou art sprinkled with the streams, thou reachest, purified by men,
Thy dwelling in the wooden vat.
3. Do thou, rejoicing, nobly-armed! pour upon us heroic strength.
O Indu, come thou hitherward!
