Sama Veda II.4.1.10: Yea, ye are priests of sacrifice, winners in
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Yea, ye are priests of sacrifice, winners in war and holy works
Indra and Agni, mark this well!
2. Bountiful, riders on the car, slayers of Vritra unsubdued, Indra and Agni, mark this well!
3. The men with pressing-stones have pressed this meath of yours which gives delight:
Indra and Agni, mark this well!
