Sama Veda II.2.2.9: The living drops of Soma juice pour, as
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. The living drops of Soma juice pour, as they flow the gladdening drink,
Intelligent drops above the station of the sea, exhilarating, dropping meath.
2. May Pavamana, King and God, speed with his wave over the sea the lofty rite!
Do thou by Mitra's and by Varuna's decree flow furthering the lofty rite:
3. Far-seeing, lovely, guided by the men, the God whose habitation is the sea!
