Sama Veda II.2.2.15: The Somas, very rich in sweets, for which
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. The Somas, very rich in sweets, for which the sieve is distined,
flow Effused, the source of Indra's joy: may you strong juices reach the Gods!
2. Indu flows on for Indra's sake,-thus have the deities declared.
The Lord of Speech exerts himself, controller of all power and might.
3. Inciter of the voice of song, with thousand streams the ocean flows.
Even Soma, Lord of opulence, the friend of Indra, day by day.
