Sama Veda II.2.1.8: Mitra and Varuna we call to drink the
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Mitra and Varuna we call to drink the draught of Soma juice,
Those born endowed with holy strength.
2. Those who by Law uphold the Law, Lords of the shining light of Law,
Mitra I call, and Varuna.
3. Let Varuna be our chief defence, let Mitra guard us with all aids,
Both make us rich exceedingly!
