Sama Veda II.2.1.6: We seek to win thy friendly love, even
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. We seek to win thy friendly love, even Pavamana's flowing o'er
The limit of the cleansing sieve.
2. With those same waves which in their stream o'erflow the purifying sieve,
Soma, be gracious unto us!
3. O Soma, being purified, bring us from all sides-for thou canst-
Riches and food with hero sons!
