Sama Veda II.3.2.13: O Purifying Soma, bring to us the wondrous
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. O Purifying Soma, bring to us the wondrous treasure, meet.
For lauds, that is in earth and heaven!
2. Cleansing the lives of men, thou, Steer, bellowing on the sacred grass,
Gold-hued, hast settled in thy home.
3. For ye twain, Indra, Soma, are Lords of heaven's light, Lords of the kine:
Prosper, as mighty ones, our prayers
