Sama Veda II.4.1.19: Friends, hymn your Lord who makes him pure
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1895) · From Hymns of the Samaveda (1895)
1. Friends, hymn your Lord who makes him pure for rapturous carouse: let them
Sweeten him, as a child, with lauds and sacred gifts
2. Like as a calf with mother cows, so Indu is urged forth and sent,
Glorified by our hymns;, the god-delighting juice.
3. Effectual help to power is he. he is a banquet for the troop,
He who hath been effused, more rich in meath, for Gods.
