Sama Veda II.3.1.16: The Sage of heaven whose heart is wise
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. The Sage of heaven whose heart is wise, when laid between both hands, with roars,
Gives us delightful powers of life.
2. He, the bright son, when born, illumed his parents who had sprung to life,
Great Son, great strengtheners of Law.
3. On, onward to a glorious home, free from all guile and dear to. men,
Flow with enjoyment to our praise!
