Sama Veda II.3.2.6: Thou, Indu, with thy streams that drop sweet
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Thou, Indu, with thy streams that drop sweet juices, which were poured for help,
Hast settled in the cleansing sieve.
2. So flow thou onward through the fleece, for Indra flow to be his drink,
Seating thee in the shrine of Law!
3. As giving room and freedom, as most sweet, pour butter forth and milk,
O Soma, for the Angirasas!
