Sama Veda II.2.2.4: For food, flow onward with thy stream, cleansed
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. For food, flow onward with thy stream, cleansed and made bright by sapient men:
Indu, with sheen approach the milk!
2. While thou art cleansed, song-lover. bring comfort and vigourto the folk,
Poured, tawny one! on milk and curds!
3. Purified for feast of Gods, go thou to Indra's resting-place,
Resplendent, furthered by the strong!
