Sama Veda II.3.2.17: Make high and splendid glory shine hitherward, Lord
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Make high and splendid glory shine hitherward, Lord of food, God, on the friend of Gods
Unclose the cask of middle air
2. Roll onward from the press, O mighty one, effused, as kings, supporter of the tribes
Pour on us rain from heaven, send us the water's flow, urging our thoughts to win the spoil!
