Sama Veda II.4.1.8: Soon as the Sun hath risen I sing
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Soon as the Sun hath risen I sing to you, to Mitra, Varuna,
And Aryaman who slays the foe.
2. With wealth of gold may this my song bring unmolested might; may this,
Sages! obtain the sacrifice!
3. May we be thine, God Varuna, and with our princes, Mitra, thine:
May we gain food and heavenly light!
