Sama Veda II.3.2.18: Breath of the mighty Dames, the Child, speeding
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Breath of the mighty Dames, the Child, speeding the plan of sacrifice,
Surpasses all things that are dear, yea, from of old.
2. The place that is concealed hath gained a share of Trita's pressing-stones,
By the seven laws of sacrifice, even that dear place.
3. He hath sent forth unto the heights the three, in stream, as Trita's wealth:
He who is passing wise measures his pathways out.
