Sama Veda II.4.1.15: As a good cow to him who milks
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. As a good cow to him who milks, we call the doer of good deeds,
To our assistance day by day.
2. Come thou to our libations, drink of Soma, Soma-drinker! yea,
The rich one's rapture giveth kine.
3. So may we be acquainted with thine innermost benevolence:
Neglect us not; come hitherward!
