Sama Veda II.4.1.12: Deft-handed! thou when purified liftest thy voice amid
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Deft-handed! thou when purified liftest thy voice amid the sea.
Thou, Pavamana makest riches flow to us, yellow, abundant, much-desired.
2. Made pure, as Pavamana, in the sheep's long wool, the Steer bath bellowed in the vat.
Thou flowest, Soma Pavamana! balmed with 'milk unto the meeting-place of Gods.
